When a tax office sells seized property by public notice, what must it ask the land or registration office to do, and how soon?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the public sale notice, the seizure record showing the property is seized, and the property papers showing whether a change of rights in it requires registration, because the request is owed only where it does.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the duty as written: where the director of the competent tax office has issued a public sale notice for seized property, and a change of rights in that property requires registration or record, the director must request the competent registration office to enter a note of that fact in the register, and the text ties this to the moment of the sale notice by the word 'immediately'.
Another reading notes that the provision governs only what the tax office must ask the registration office to write in the register, and says nothing about what the registration office must do with the request, how the note reaches a later reader of the register, or what follows if the request is not made, leaving those points open.
Your judgment
If the file holds the sale notice but no copy of the request to the registration office, what other paper could show the request was made?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who must make the request or its timing, or if a court decision explains what effect the register note has on a later acquirer of the property.
