278.10 TO BE ENTERED IN JUDGMENT BOOK.
Upon entry of the judgment referred to in section
278.07, the county auditor shall bill the
taxpayer for the unpaid portion of the judgment, if any, plus the allowable costs, interest, and
penalties that have accrued to the date of entry, as provided in section
278.08. If the judgment
referred to in section
278.07 is not paid within 30 days of the billing, the county auditor shall
enter the same in the certified copy of the real estate tax judgment book received by the auditor
pursuant to section
279.23 for the year for which such taxes were levied, with the same effect
as if judgment had been entered under chapter 279, except that interest shall not accrue during,
nor apply to, the 30-day payment period. In the event the judgment under section
278.07 shall
be entered subsequent to the real estate tax judgment sale under section
280.01 for the taxes on
the applicable delinquent list, and if such judgment shall remain unpaid for 30 days after billing,
then interest shall again begin to accrue, and the parcel of land, against which such judgment
was entered, shall be immediately bid-in for the state, and all subsequent events, deadlines,
and periods related to the enforcement of the judgment against the affected real estate shall be
measured from the bid-in date under this section.
