     580.25 Redemption, how made. 

    Redemption shall be made as provided in this section. 

    The person desiring to redeem shall pay the amount required 
 by law for the redemption, and shall produce to the person or 
 officer receiving the redemption payment: 

    (1) a copy of the docket of the judgment, or of the deed or 
 mortgage, or of the record or files evidencing any other lien 
 under which the person claims a right to redeem, certified by 
 the officer with custody of the docket, record, or files, or the 
 original deed or mortgage with the certificate of record 
 endorsed on it; 

    (2) a copy of any assignment necessary to evidence the 
 person's ownership of the lien, certified by the officer with 
 custody of the assignment, or the original of each instrument of 
 assignment with the certificate of record endorsed on it.  If 
 the redemption is under an assignment of a judgment, the 
 assignment shall be filed in the court entering the judgment, as 
 provided by law, and the person so redeeming shall produce a 
 certified copy of it and of the record of its filing, and the 
 copy of the docket shall show that the proper entry was made 
 upon the docket.  No further evidence of the assignment of the 
 judgment is required unless the mortgaged premises or part of it 
 is registered property, in which case the judgment and all 
 assignments of the judgment must be entered as a memorial upon 
 the certificate of title to the mortgaged premises and the 
 original judgment and each assignment with the certificate of 
 record endorsed on it, or a copy certified by the registrar of 
 titles, must be produced; and 

    (3) an affidavit of the person or the person's agent, 
 showing the amount then actually claimed due on the person's 
 lien and required to be paid on the lien in order to redeem from 
 the person. 

    If redemption is made to the sheriff, the sheriff may 
 charge a fee of $250 for issuing the certificate of redemption 
 and any related service.  No other fee may be charged by the 
 sheriff for a redemption.  

    Within 24 hours after a redemption is made, the person 
 redeeming shall cause the documents so required to be produced 
 to be filed with the county recorder, or registrar of titles, 
 who may receive fees as prescribed in section 357.18 or 508.82.  
 If the redemption is made at any place other than the county 
 seat, it is sufficient forthwith to deposit the documents in the 
 nearest post office, addressed to the recorder or registrar of 
 titles, with the postage prepaid.  A person recording documents 
 produced for redemption shall, on the same day, deliver copies 
 of the documents to the sheriff for public inspection.  The 
 sheriff may receive a fee of $20 for the documents delivered 
 following a redemption.  The sheriff shall note the date of 
 delivery on the documents and shall maintain for public 
 inspection all documents delivered to the sheriff for a period 
 of six months after the end of the mortgagor's redemption period.
