1. There shall be allowed to all officers, except district attorneys, the same fees as are allowed in other civil cases. All officers shall perform such services as may be required of them under this chapter without the payment of fees in advance.

2. All costs shall be taxed and entered in the judgment against the person and the real estate and the improvements, when the judgment is the same against all; but if the judgment against the person and the property is for different sums, then the costs may be apportioned by the court as the same may be deemed just.

3. No fees or costs shall be paid to any officer unless the same are collected from the defendant except when property sold for taxes is purchased by the county, in which case the county shall pay all fees and costs properly charged or taxed against such property, and the board of county commissioners shall allow the fees and costs provided for in this section, and direct the same to be paid out of the general fund of the county.
