Description

Use this screen to search for parties of interest associated with a tax sale and their correspondence history. A party of interest is not a legal owner; rather, it is someone or something that has an interest in properties in a tax sale (for example, title search companies). Use this task to track correspondence that was sent to these companies.

You can search for interested parties using name, address and a US Postal Service Package Identification Code (PIC).

Steps
