What must a taxpayer submit to the tax collector to request a redemption calculation?

To request a redemption calculation, a taxpayer must submit a written request to the tax collector. This requirement ensures that there is a clear, documented record of the request, which facilitates the processing of the redemption calculation. Written requests allow tax collectors to maintain organized records and provide a structured approach to handling taxpayer inquiries. Additionally, a written format minimizes misunderstandings and miscommunications that could potentially arise from other forms of communication, such as verbal or phone requests. This protocol is standard in many jurisdictions to promote transparency and accountability in tax collection processes.
