Any resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of such public corporation or trust indenture under which bonds may be issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may contain provisions creating a statutory mortgage lien, in favor of the holders of such bonds, on the water, sewer and garbage systems or other revenue-producing and facilities or any thereof (including any after-acquired property) out of the revenues from which such bonds are made payable. The said resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of such public corporation or the said trust indenture may provide for the filing for record in the office of the judge of probate of each county in which any part of such water, sewer and garbage systems or other revenue-producing facilities or any thereof may be located of a notice containing a brief description of such systems and facilities or any thereof, a brief description of such bonds and a declaration that said statutory mortgage lien has been created for the benefit of the holders of such bonds upon such systems and facilities or any thereof, including any additions thereto and extensions thereof. Each judge of probate shall receive, record and index any such notice filed for record in his office and no mortgage or deed tax shall be payable with respect to any such filing for record. The recording of such notice, as provided in this section, shall operate as constructive notice of the contents thereof.
