Any person, firm or
corporation who or which may have been entitled to redeem the
property involved prior to the issuance of the treasurer's deed
to the county, and his or her or its successor in interest, shall
have the right, at any time after the commencement of, and prior
to the judgment in the action authorized herein, to redeem such
property by paying to the county treasurer the amount of the
taxes for which the property was sold to the county, and the
amount of any other general taxes which may have accrued prior to
the issuance of said treasurer's deed, together with interest on
all such taxes from the date of delinquency thereof,
respectively, at the rate of twelve percent per annum, and by
paying for the benefit of the assessment district concerned the
amount of principal, penalty and interest of all special
assessments, if any, which shall have been levied against such
property and by paying such proportional part of the costs of the
tax foreclosure proceedings and of the action herein authorized
as the county treasurer shall determine.
Upon redemption of any property before judgment as herein
provided, the county treasurer shall issue to the redemptioner a
certificate specifying the amount of the taxes, special
assessments, penalty, interest and costs charged describing the
land and stating that the taxes, special assessments, penalty,
interest and costs specified have been fully paid, and the lien
thereof discharged. Such certificate shall clear the land
described therein from any claim of the county based on the
treasurer's deed previously issued in the tax foreclosure
proceedings.
