After the tax roll has been certified to the county treasurer, the treasurer shall then allocate so much of the sum collected as will pay the taxes and assessments on the property. In the case in which the sum collected is in excess of the amount necessary for the payment of the taxes and assessments, the treasurer shall return the amount of excess to the depositing party.
