A certificate of the treasurer that the land is free 3 from certified taxes and certified special assessments or that 4 the land is free from certified taxes and that the certified 5 special assessments are secured by bond in compliance with 6 section 354.12 .

An expired certificate of the treasurer 24 shall not be considered an acceptable document presented to the 25 county recorder for recording. 26 -1- LSB 6293SV (1) 88 js/ns 1/ 1
