The other such duplicate, from which shall first be eliminated the names of persons whose total liability for taxes and penalty is less than one hundred dollars, shall be filed by the auditor on the first day of December, annually, in the office of the county recorder, and the same shall constitute a notice of lien and operate as of the date of delivery as a lien on the lands and tenements, vested legal interests therein, and permanent leasehold estates of each person named therein having such real estate in such county. Such notice of lien and such lien shall not be valid as against any mortgagee, pledgee, purchaser, or judgment creditor whose rights have attached prior to the date of such delivery.

If the authority making any assessment believes that the collection of such taxes will be jeopardized by delay, such assessing authority shall so certify on the assessment certificate thereof, and the auditor shall include a certificate of such jeopardy in the certificate given by the auditor to the treasurer. In such event, the treasurer shall proceed immediately to collect such taxes, and to enforce the collection thereof by any means provided by law, and the treasurer may not accept a tender of any part of such taxes; but the person or the representatives of the person against whom such assessment is made may, in the event of an appeal to the tax commissioner therefrom, obtain a stay of collection of the whole or any part of the amount of such assessment by filing with the treasurer a bond in an amount not exceeding double the amount as to which the stay is desired, with such surety as the treasurer deems necessary, conditioned upon the payment of the amount determined to be due by the decision of the commissioner which has become final, and further conditioned that if an appeal is not filed within the period provided by law, the amount of collection which is stayed by the bond will be paid on notice and demand of the treasurer at any time after the expiration of such period. The taxpayer may waive such stay as to the whole or any part of the amount covered by the bond, and if as the result of such waiver any part of the amount covered by the bond is paid, then the bond shall be proportionately reduced on the request of the taxpayer.

The auditor shall include such amounts on the tax list and duplicates prepared by the auditor as prescribed in section 5719.04 of the Revised Code unless the interest is less than one dollar, in which case it shall not be added to such tax lists and duplicates. Before the county treasurer accepts any payment of taxes against which there are accrued interest charges that do not appear on the delinquent tax duplicate, the treasurer shall notify the auditor who shall issue a certificate to the treasurer showing the amount of such interest charges, and the treasurer shall collect the amount shown on such certificate at the time of accepting payment of such taxes. If the amount of such interest charges is less than one dollar, no such certificate shall be issued. In the case of delinquent personal property taxes, the interest shown on such certificate shall be credited to the undivided general tax fund, and distributed in the same manner as the delinquent taxes upon which the interest charges accrued. In the case of delinquent classified property taxes, the interest shown on such certificate shall be credited to the county public library fund and distributed in accordance with section 5747.48 of the Revised Code.
