Rule 1105. Tax Sale Appeals.

All tax sale appeals shall be docketed in a manner which identifies the appeal by the tax sale number. Once the appeal is filed, a separate file for that appeal shall be maintained by the Prothonotary.

Comment: Generally, all tax sales for a given year are collectively docketed as filing year-S-file number. Appeals shall be filed to the same docket number but shall also note the sale number. An example would be 2012-S-235 (Sale No. 36).
