====== Return and Claim ====== The life cycle of a property tax claim begins when the tax collector returns a list of properties with unpaid taxes to the county Tax Claim Bureau. The bureau establishes its claim on the property by doing a certified mailing to the owner and, if necessary, posting the property. Most of the functions relating to the Return and Claim are found in the [[tax_claim:starting_new_claims_form|Starting New Claims Menu]] form.
