A. When real property has been correctly assessed and sold to the city for delinquent city taxes, any misstatement of facts or clerical errors occurring or appearing in the deed issued thereon, may be corrected by the tax collector or his successor in office, upon an order of the council entered upon its minutes directing correction by the issuance of a new or amended deed when it can be determined by the assessment or subsequent proceedings what was originally intended.

B. When a new or amended tax deed is issued under this provision, such deed shall be in letters and figures, as far as practicable, the same as the original, excepting as to the correction of the error or omission and shall also contain a statement giving reasons for the issuance of a new or amended deed.

C. The provisions set out in subsection A of this section relative to correction of errors in deeds shall apply only to all sales of property heretofore or hereafter made wherein the city was or is purchaser. (Prior code § 6.04.910)
