B. At least thirty but not more than sixty days before the expiration date, the county treasurer shall notify the purchaser by certified mail of the pending expiration. Within seven days after expiration, the treasurer shall notify the purchaser by certified mail that the lien and certificate of purchase or registered certificate have expired.
