All redemptions must take place through which office unless a court order is authorized?

• A. Tax Collector's Office
• B. Clerk of Court
• C. Registry
• D. Treasurer

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who administers tax redemptions. The Tax Collector's Office is the proper channel for processing and issuing redemptions because tax collection and related redemption actions fall under the authority and duties of the tax collection office. They maintain the tax records, receive the redemption payments, issue redemption receipts or certificates, and disburse funds as required. A court order could direct a different path in specific cases, but absent such an order, redemption actions are handled by the Tax Collector's Office.

Clerk of Court handles court proceedings, not routine redemption processing; Registry keeps property records; Treasurer may be involved in finances in some systems but does not typically administer tax redemptions.
