Within 20 days after the seizure of property under this chapter, any person owning or claiming an interest in the property may offer to deposit with the board an amount of money equal to the fair market value of the property as determined by the board. If the board is satisfied that the property will not be used, transported or sold in violation of any provision of this part, the board shall accept the deposit and release the property. The money so deposited shall be held by the board in lieu of the seized property and shall be treated in all respects in the same manner as that property.
