Section 10-24-16 - Right of lien holder to pay taxes or redeem from sale--Addition to lien--Interest rate. - South Dakota Statutes

10-24-16. Right of lien holder to pay taxes or redeem from sale--Addition to lien--Interest rate. Any person having a lien upon any property sold or about to be sold for taxes or on which the taxes are delinquent and unpaid may redeem from the tax sale if the property is still subject to redemption or may pay such taxes, interest, penalty, and costs as are delinquent. The receipt of the county treasurer or the certificate of redemption constitutes an increase of the amount of the lien held by the party paying the taxes or making the redemption. The amount paid and the interest on the amount at the rate specified in the lien instrument, or if none is specified then at the rate that such taxes would bear according to law, shall be collected with, as a part of, and in the same manner as the amount secured by the original lien.
