Any tax, interest and penalties due and payable under this subchapter shall be a debt due the municipality and shall constitute a lien on the real and personal property of the taxpayer. The Treasurer, for the more effective collection of the tax, interest and penalty imposed by this subchapter, may file with the Clerk of the County Commission a certified notice of lien for delinquent taxes, interest and penalty under this subchapter for recordation. If a lien has been recorded respecting a delinquency, upon full payment of all delinquent tax, interest and penalty, the Treasurer shall attest to the fact and amount of payment, and shall forward a certificate of release to the taxpayer. Upon presentment and payment of the recording fee by the taxpayer, the Clerk of the County Commission shall record such certificate in the book in which releases are recorded.
