    Not later than the next business day after the date of the jurat of an affidavit under section 2, the treasurer shall record the affidavit or a true copy of the affidavit with the register of deeds of the county in which the property was located on the tax day, in the same manner as is provided by law for the filing and recording of financing statements with registers of deeds under part 5 of article 9 of the uniform commercial code, 1962 PA 174, MCL 440.9501 to 440.9526.
