§ 3.24.170. Authority to require records.

The recorder may rely on the declaration as to the amount of the tax due provided he/she has no reason to believe that the full amount of the tax due has not been paid. However, should the recorder become aware of information indicating that the full amount of the tax due has not been paid, after the recording of the deed, instrument, or writing subject to the tax imposed by this chapter, the recorder may, by notice served upon any person or entity liable therefor, require him/her/it to furnish a true copy of his/her/its records relevant to the amount of the consideration or value of the interest or property conveyed. The recorder may also demand that the person(s) and/or entity(s) liable for the tax pay the full amount of tax due, and the recorder may pursue said demand by any and all lawful means.
