3.                      The Amount to Redeem does not include the 2014 2nd half billing, and the interest is calculated to December 31, 2014.  Therefore, upon redemption the amounts will be adjusted accordingly.

 

4.                      It is further determined that the Corporation Counsel, with the written consent of the Tax Collector, shall have authority to enter into consent order(s) or stipulation(s) of dismissal where it is found that the action(s) was instituted erroneously or redemption of tax sale certificate(s).
