The Oklahoma Tax Commission may issue to the county clerk of any county of the state a certificate certifying that the person therein named is indebted to the state for a specified state tax in the amount stated. The county clerk shall immediately record and index such certificate using the name of the delinquent taxpayer, the amount certified as being due, a short name of the tax, and the date and time of the filing for record. Such recording shall have the same force and effect as a judgment and shall constitute and be evidence and notice of the state's lien upon the title to any interest in any real property of the taxpayer named in such certificate. Such lien shall be in addition to any and all other liens existing in favor of the state to secure the payment of such unpaid tax, penalty, interest and costs, and such lien shall be paramount and superior to all other liens of whatsoever kind or character attaching to any of said property subsequent to the date of such recording and shall be in addition to any lien provided by Section 234 of this title. Such lien is hereby released and extinguished upon the payment of the tax, penalty, interest and costs, or, except as otherwise provided herein, upon the expiration of ten (10) years after the date upon which such certificate was recorded and indexed by the county clerk; provided, the Tax Commission may, prior to the release and extinguishment of such lien, reissue the certificate of indebtedness to the county clerk. A certificate so reissued shall continue the lien until payment of the tax, penalty, interest and costs, or upon the expiration of ten (10) years after the date upon which the certificate was re-recorded and indexed by the county clerk. All active liens evidenced by a certificate of indebtedness filed with a county clerk’s office prior to November 1, 1989, shall be released and extinguished if the certificate of indebtedness is not refiled prior to November 1, 2001.
