Any landowner interested shall have the right to pay to the receiver, whether due or not, the amount charged and assessed as a lien on his tract of land at any time before it is sold. In such event the receiver shall issue to him a receipt therefor, which shall discharge such tract of land from the lien and assessment fixed against it and may be recorded by the clerk of said court. In the event of a sale the landowner, the bond and judgment holders, or their agent shall have the right to purchase, and sale shall be made to the highest bidder for cash at public outcry. The receiver shall execute to the purchaser an appropriate conveyance of the tract sold for the amount bid, and such sale shall extinguish all claims and demands of the bond and judgment holders against said land for the benefit assessments for which it is sold, whether for the full amount or not, but shall not affect the lien of the bond and judgment holders for any benefit assessments not due.Codes, 1942, § 4671-05; Laws, 1952, ch. 308, § 5.
