Sec. 25. (a) This section applies to:
(1) a lien arising under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (commonly known as the Superfund Law); and
(2) any other federal lien on real property or any federal tax lien on personal property provided for in the statutes or regulations of the United States.
In order for a lien covered by this section to be perfected, notice of the lien must be filed in the office of the recorder of the county in which the real or personal property subject to the lien is located.
(b) When a notice of a lien covered by this section is presented to the recorder for filing, the recorder shall enter it appropriately in the entry book and in the miscellaneous record. The entries made under this subsection must show the date of filing, the book and page number or instrument number, the name of the person named in the notice, a legal description of the property, if appropriate, and any serial number or other identifying number given in the notice.
(c) When a certificate of discharge of a federal lien covered by this section is issued by the proper officer and presented for filing in the office of the recorder of the county where the notice of lien was filed, the recorder shall record the certificate of discharge as a release of the lien. However, to be recorded under this subsection, the certificate must refer to the recorder's book and page number or instrument number under which the lien was recorded.
(d) When recording a release of a lien under subsection (c), the recorder shall inscribe, in the margin of each entry made to record the lien under subsection (a), a reference to the place where the release is recorded.
(e) Upon the recording of the certificate of discharge as a release under subsection (c) and the inscribing of the references to the release under subsection (d), a certificate of discharge of a lien covered by this section operates as a full discharge and satisfaction of the lien, unless the references to the release inscribed under subsection (d) specifically note the release as a partial lien release.
(f) A federal lien on real property and a federal tax lien on personal property are not subject to the:
(1) requirement to redact Social Security numbers as described in IC 36-2-7.5-1.5; or
(2) requirements to include statements in a recorded or filed instrument as described in section 15(c) and 15(d) of this chapter.
