The receipt of redemption money by the tax collector shall operate to release all claims of the county, under the judgment of foreclosure, to the property so redeemed. The tax collector, on receipt of the redemption money, immediately shall make the proper entries in the records of the office of the tax collector showing that the delinquent taxes, interest and penalty have been paid and that the property has been redeemed from the sale to the county, and the tax collector shall deliver to the person redeeming the property a certificate of redemption. The certificate shall contain a description of the property so redeemed, the total amount of taxes, interest and penalty paid, and the date of entry of the judgment of foreclosure. The certificate shall be signed by the tax collector or deputy and shall be filed by the redemptioner with the clerk of the court that issued the judgment of foreclosure. The clerk then shall enter the filing of the certificate of redemption in the court register and thereafter file the certificate of redemption as part of the case file in the foreclosure proceeding. No fee shall be charged for the issuance of a certificate of redemption. [Amended by 1989 c.411 § 3; 1991 c.111 § 18; 2003 c.576 § 423]
