The director or his subordinate shall, on payment of the purchase price, make, execute
and deliver all proper conveyances necessary in the premises and the delivery of the
conveyances shall vest in the purchaser the title to the property sold; provided,
that the deed to the premises shall be recorded within sixty days after the sale;
provided further, that for any foreclosure without suit pursuant to section 3.48.250 , the taxpayer may redeem the property sold by payment to the purchaser at the sale,
within one year from the date thereof, or if the deed shall not have been recorded
within sixty days after the sale, then within one year from the date of recording
of the deed, of the amount paid by the purchaser, together with all costs and expenses
which the purchaser was required to pay, including the fee for recording the deed,
and in addition thereto, interest on such amount at the rate of twelve percent a year,
but in a case of redemption more than one year after the date of sale by reason of
extension of the redemption period on account of late recording of the tax deed, interest
shall not be added for the extended redemption period.
