The document used to confirm posting of notices for tax sale advertising is what?

• A. Affidavit
• B. Notice of Sale
• C. Deed
• D. Certificate

Answer: (A)

When a tax sale requires notices to be posted, the document that confirms those postings is an affidavit of posting. This sworn statement serves as proof that the notices were placed in the required locations and on the required dates. The person who posted the notices signs the affidavit, swearing under oath that the postings occurred as described, and it’s often filed with the court or tax authority to satisfy due process.

The actual Notice of Sale is the notice itself that informs the public about the sale, but it is not the sworn confirmation of posting. A Deed is the document that transfers property ownership after the sale, and a Certificate could refer to a separate, unrelated instrument (such as a tax certificate) and does not function as proof of notice posting.
