(1) Any mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien given to replace a defective mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, covering the identical real property as the original and securing the identical original note or obligation, may be recorded without payment of additional nonrecurring tax upon proof of payment of the tax upon the original recording. The clerk shall note the original payment on the new instrument.

(2)(a) No additional nonrecurring tax shall be due upon the assignment by the obligee of a note, bond, or other obligation for the payment of money upon which a nonrecurring tax has previously been paid. (b) A note or mortgage for a federal small business loan program transaction pursuant to 15 U.S.C. ss. 695-697g, also known as a 504 loan, which specifies the Small Business Administration as the obligee or mortgagee and increases the principal balance of a note or mortgage which is part of an interim loan for purposes of debenture guarantee funding upon which nonrecurring tax has previously been paid, is subject to additional tax only on the increase above the current principal balance. The obligor and mortgagor must be the same as on the prior note or mortgage, and there may not be new or additional obligors or mortgagors. The prior note or the book and page number of the recorded interim mortgage must be referenced in the Small Business Administration note or mortgage.

(3) No additional nonrecurring tax shall be due upon the assumption of a note, bond, or other obligation for the payment of money if a nonrecurring tax has previously been paid and the amount of the indebtedness remains the same, whether or not the original obligor is released from liability.

(4) Where a note, bond, or other obligation upon which a nonrecurring tax has previously been paid is refinanced with the original obligee or its assignee: (a) No additional nonrecurring tax is due if the principal balance of the new obligation is less than or equal to the unpaid principal balance of the original obligation, plus accrued but unpaid interest, as of the refinancing. (b) Additional nonrecurring tax is due if the principal balance of the new obligation exceeds the principal balance of the original obligation, plus accrued but unpaid interest, as of the refinancing. If the original obligor is not liable to the obligee under the new obligation, the additional nonrecurring tax shall be computed on the entire principal balance of the new obligation; otherwise, the additional nonrecurring tax shall be computed on the excess of the principal balance of the new obligation over the principal balance of the original obligation, plus accrued but unpaid interest, as of the refinancing.
