When the tax and interest chargeable has been paid in full or secured by bond, or when an estate is determined by the State Tax Commissioner to be exempt from any inheritance tax of this State, a statement of such fact, signed by the State Tax Commissioner, shall be issued to the executor, administrator or other representative of the estate. The statement shall be in such form as the commissioner may adopt and shall include a concise but definite description of the real property disclosed in the proceeding. Such statement may be recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county wherein the real property is situate, in a book which shall be kept by the clerk for such purpose, labeled “inheritance tax,” for which recording and indexing the clerk shall receive the fee prescribed therefor by section 22:2-19 of the Title Fees and Costs.
