If any such certificate of sale issued to the county is not sold or assigned within three years from the date of the sale, thereupon the county may apply for a tax deed and shall be entitled to such tax deed the same as provided by law for other purchasers at tax sales. After the execution of said deed, the county shall be entitled to the rents, issues, and profits from any such land the same as any other owner. Such tax deed shall name the board of county commissioners as grantee and tax deeds may be executed and delivered, based upon certificates now held by counties, as well as certificates which may hereafter be issued covering lands in irrigation districts having an outstanding indebtedness, as provided in this article.
