numerically by county treasurer.
Upon the payment of any tax, if directed by the board of county commissioners, the county
treasurer shall give to the county auditor a receipt therefor showing the name and post-office
address of the person who paid the tax, the amount and date of payment, the land, lot, or other
property upon which the tax is levied, according to the description on the tax list, or in some
other sufficient manner, and the year or years for which the tax was levied. If for current taxes
on real estate, the receipt must have written or stamped across its face "taxes for" (giving the
year in figures) or "first installment taxes" (giving the year in figures) or "second installment
taxes" (giving the year in figures), as the case may be. Each year's tax must be on a separate
receipt. If the county treasurer has given notice of tax lien for land and the tax lien has not been
foreclosed, the receipt for such taxes must have written or stamped across the face "tax lien",
with a statement of the years for which any of the real estate described therein is subject to a
tax lien. If directed by the board of county commissioners, the treasurer shall provide receipts at
the end of each day to the county auditor, who shall file and preserve them in the auditor's office
charging the treasurer with the amount thereof. A copy of each receipt must be preserved in the
office of the county treasurer and filed in numerical order.
