Section 3.16.120 General taxes on delinquent property.

    During each year, the City Recorder may ascertain by examination of the county records what property purchased by Vernal City under this chapter is delinquent and about to be sold by Uintah County for general taxes and report the property and the amount of taxes in each instance to the City Council with a request that the amount due for general taxes be appropriated for payment to Uintah County. The City Council may appropriate the amount as recommended by the City Recorder and the City Recorder shall thereupon draw a warrant in favor of Uintah County for the total sum of such delinquent general taxes, and deliver the same to the Uintah County treasurer taking duplicate receipts for each separate parcel of property upon which the general taxes are paid. The City recorder shall thereupon deliver one (1) copy of each receipt to the Vernal City Treasurer and attach the other to the corresponding certificates of sale in the City Recorder's office. Upon receiving such receipts, the City Treasurer shall make an entry on his tax sale record opposite the corresponding property of the date and the amount of taxes paid. Such taxes shall be included as costs and shall be included in the redemption amount. (Ord. 90-05 § 12)
