10-25-40. Cancellation of taxes on sale of tax-deed land by county--Reinstatement when deed declared void. After a county has sold and issued to a purchaser at any time prior or subsequent to the effective date of this section a deed to any real property for which the county has taken tax title, the county auditor shall forthwith cancel the taxes levied against said real property prior to the sale by the county and enter such cancellation on the records of the county treasurer. Should the tax deed to the county and the county deed to the purchaser be by a court of competent jurisdiction decreed to be void prior to three years after the execution of such tax deed to the county, such taxes shall be reinstated by the county auditor on the records of the county auditor and the records of the county treasurer, and shall again become a lien against said premises.
