Release of lien; filing executed certificate; entry in lien book;
lienholder's liability
Sec. 7. (a) To release a lien perfected under section 4 of this
chapter, the provider to whom the lien has been paid must file with
the recorder in whose office the notice of the lien was filed an
executed certificate:
(1) stating that the claim filed by the provider for the provision
of emergency ambulance services has been paid or discharged;
and
(2) authorizing the recorder to release the lien.
The provider shall bear the expense of obtaining a release.
(b) Upon receipt of the certificate, the recorder shall enter in the
margin of the record of the lien and the entry book a memorandum
of the filing and the date the certificate was filed. This entry
constitutes a release of lien for which the recorder shall receive the
fee prescribed in IC 36-2-7-10.
(c) If the amount of a lien has been satisfied or paid and
subsequently a demand for a release of the lien is made, the
lienholder is liable to the person, firm, limited liability company, or
corporation against whose interest the lien has been filed for ten
dollars ($10) for each day that the lien remains in effect after the
fifteenth day after the demand for a release of the lien was made.
