Subject to the rules prescribed by the tax commissioner, a county treasurer charged with the collection of delinquent taxes may issue a certificate of release of the lien provided for in section 5719.04 of the Revised Code if the amount secured thereby has been paid or omitted from the delinquent tax list and duplicate pursuant to section 5719.06 of the Revised Code. The treasurer shall issue a certificate of partial discharge of any part of the real property subject to the lien after finding that the value of the part of the property remaining subject to the lien is at least double the amount of the delinquent taxes and all prior liens upon such real property. Such certificate shall be filed and recorded with the county recorder of the county in which the notice of lien has been filed, for which recording the recorder shall charge a base fee of two dollars for services and a housing trust fund fee of two dollars pursuant to section 317.36 of the Revised Code.
