10-24-1. Right to redeem tax certificate before issuance of tax deed--Amount due--Memorandum and receipt by treasurer.

Any person may redeem a tax certificate on real property sold for taxes at any time before issue of a tax deed for the property by paying the treasurer the sum listed in the tax certificate, the interest on the sum at the rate that the real property was sold from the date of purchase, other taxes subsequently paid, and interest on the taxes at the same rate from the date of the payment. The treasurer shall enter a memorandum of the redemption in the list of sales and give a receipt for the redemption to the person redeeming the tax certificate. The treasurer shall also file the receipt with the county auditor. The treasurer shall hold the money subject to the order of the purchaser, the purchaser's agent, or the purchaser's attorney.

10-24-2. Return of tax certificate as release of claims--Notations in record by treasurer.

If the person who redeems a tax certificate on real property does not demand a receipt or tax certificate of redemption from the treasurer, the return of the tax certificate of purchase for cancellation operates as a release of all claims to the real property described in the tax certificate. The treasurer, after receiving the tax certificate of purchase, shall mark on the tax certificate sale record opposite the description of the real property for which the tax certificate of purchase has been issued, and opposite the record showing all payments of subsequent taxes, "sale canceled by return of tax certificate."

After the payment of the taxes, penalties, interests, and costs, the treasurer shall issue a tax receipt for the taxes, penalty, interest, and costs.

10-24-6. Payment of subsequent taxes without full redemption from county--Receipt.

If any tax certificate has been purchased by the county at any tax certificate sale, subsequent taxes have accrued and become due against the real property, and the tax certificate remains owned by the county, a person may pay the amount due on one or more years of the subsequent taxes without making full redemption from the sale without depriving the county of its right to enforce the county's tax liens under any tax certificate. The treasurer, after issuing a receipt for payment, shall state the years for which prior taxes on the real property remain unpaid.
