Upon redemption, the lien holder can receive fees if he has filed which documents?

• A. Affidavits
• B. Tax returns
• C. Notices
• D. Certificates

Answer: (A)

When a tax lien is redeemed, the lien holder can recover certain costs or fees, but that recovery relies on formal documentation that proves what fees were incurred and why they’re owed. Affidavits are the sworn statements that lay out the lien holder’s charges—showing the amount, the services performed, and the timing. These affidavits provide the necessary evidence for the redemption authorities to approve and disburse the fees. Without sworn affidavits, there isn’t a verified basis to claim those charges.

Tax returns don’t relate to recovering fees on redemption. Notices are just communications and don’t establish a fee entitlement. Certificates may confirm redemption or lien status, but they don’t by themselves authorize fee recovery. The affidavits, by contrast, are the formal record that enables the lien holder to be compensated for the fees tied to the redemption process.
