Redemption by owner, when barred--duty of collector (first class charter counties).

141.420. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of section

141.520, any person having any right, title or interest in, or lien upon, any

parcel of real estate described in such petition, may redeem such parcel of

real estate by paying to the collector all of the sums mentioned therein,

including principal, interest, penalties, attorney's fees and costs then due,

at any time prior to the time of the foreclosure sale of such real estate by

the sheriff.



2. In the event of failure to redeem prior to the time of the

foreclosure sale by the sheriff, such person shall be barred and forever

foreclosed of all his right, title and interest in and to the parcels of real

estate described in such petition.



3. Upon redemption, as permitted by this section, the person redeeming

shall be entitled to a certificate of redemption from the collector

describing the property in the same manner as it is described in such

petition, and the collector shall thereupon note on his records the word

"redeemed" and the date of such payment opposite the description of such

parcel of real estate.



4. The collector shall promptly notify the taxing authority and the

delinquent land tax attorney of such redemption, and such payment shall

operate as a release of the lien of the tax bill or bills involved and as a

dismissal of the suit so far as such tax bill or bills are concerned.
