If the council has specified conditions under which special taxes may be prepaid and permanently satisfied and if the special taxes are so prepaid and permanently satisfied as to a particular parcel of land, the director of budget and fiscal services shall prepare a notice of cancellation of the special taxes for the parcel. The director of budget and fiscal services shall transmit a copy of the notice to the owner, who may file it with the bureau of conveyances or land court.
