If any real property has been bid in by the treasurer in the name of the county at tax certificate sale and the tax certificate has not been redeemed from the sale or assigned by a certificate of sale, and sufficient time has elapsed since the sale that a tax deed may be properly issued, the board of county commissioners may, in lieu of taking a tax deed, procure from any person who has any interest in the real property, real or apparent, a transfer by deed of the interest. However, consideration for the transfer may not exceed the sum of fifteen dollars exclusive of taxes in connection with any real property.
