It has sections for property appraisal records, tax collection records, land records, motor vehicle records, and business and other tax records. Here is the retention for some common tax records.

They’re everywhere: from boxes of conference records scheduled to come to the Archives, to county financial offices, to old file rooms in towns, to our own desks.
