Mark,

 

This is an excellent example of where the retention schedule could be
updated in terms of using current nomenclature.

 

It might be helpful to consider looking at how local offices commonly
reference records when changes and updates are made to the retention
schedule. There appears to be a gap between references in the retention
schedule and references regularly used by clerks and treasurers.

That is a good question.  I also keep a copy of all tax bills and put them
in with "keep for 10 years".  Would like to hear that answer too.

Each year we print a set of tax bills to keep in the office in case some one
needs a copy.  I have several years worth of these bills and wondering about
throwing them away.  Does anyone have a policy on how long they keep them?
There doesn't seem to be a requirement for keeping them on the retention
time table from the State.
