     281.29 Statement to be filed with county auditor. 

    Each such statement so filed in the office of the county 
 auditor in this state shall be immediately numbered and filed in 
 the auditor's office by such auditor consecutively in the order 
 in which it is received and the auditor shall, at the same time, 
 enter consecutively in the order in which such statement is 
 received, in a book to be kept for that purpose, first, the file 
 number of such statement; second, the date when such statement 
 is received and filed; third, the name of the person or 
 corporation named in such statement as having some right, title, 
 or interest in land or real property, with the post office 
 address of such person or corporation, if given in such 
 statement; and, fourth, the name of the person or corporation 
 named in such statement as the one upon whom or upon which a 
 personal service of notice may be made.  At the same time the 
 auditor shall enter the file number of such statement in the 
 real estate transfer book or books under each piece or parcel of 
 land described in such statement.  For the duties required of 
 the auditor by sections 281.28 to 281.30 the auditor shall be 
 paid, by the person presenting such statement to be filed, a fee 
 as set by the county board to cover administrative costs for 
 each piece or parcel of land described in such statement.  Each 
 such statement shall cease to be valid and effectual as such for 
 any and all purposes of sections 281.28 to 281.30 at the 
 expiration of five years from the date of its filing, or when 
 the person named therein as the one upon whom a personal service 
 of notices may be made dies or ceases to be a resident of such 
 county, or when the corporation named therein as the one upon 
 which a personal service of notices may be made ceases to have 
 an office or place of business within such county.  The person 
 or corporation named in a statement filed under the provision of 
 sections 281.28 to 281.30 as having such right, title, or 
 interest may file in the same office in which such statement is 
 filed an instrument releasing any particular piece or parcel of 
 land or real property described in such statement from the 
 effect of such statement, such releasing instrument to be 
 executed with the same formalities as are necessary to entitle 
 conveyances of real estate to record.  Such releasing instrument 
 shall be, by the auditor, immediately attached to and filed with 
 such statement affected thereby.  Every person or corporation 
 filing such releasing instrument shall, before such releasing 
 instrument is filed, pay to the auditor, for the auditor's own 
 use, a fee of ten cents for each such releasing instrument.  
 From the time such releasing instrument is so filed such 
 statement affected thereby shall cease to be valid and effectual 
 as to such particular piece or parcel of land or real property 
 so released, but shall nevertheless be and remain valid and 
 effectual as such for any and all the purposes of sections 
 281.28 to 281.30 as to each and every other piece or parcel of 
 land or real property therein described.
