Regarding my questions about requirements to alter, remove and assign,... etc. title or deed, I should have asked; What are the noticing requirements to the owner, title holder, or any other interested parties? Another question regarding NC County ROD (Register of Deeds) and Tax Offices is this; i went to tax office to pay a past due property tax bill, however was told I was current and up to date. That is fine I said, but I think there's been a mistake, and asked to see most recent payments. Someone had paid two delinquent tax bills in my name, one in case and the other by credit card. I insisted there must be a mistake and pushed to resolve it by refunding the payments and let me pay them as was my purpose for being there. They refused. I insisted to get a copy of the paid receipts, and again was refused. What rights do I have here and are there codes in NCGS that I can review to help enforce them and compel tax office to provide the paid receipts?
