the court and taxed as costs in the action brought to enforce payment, from the date

of filing the certificate described in this section in the office of the county auditor

for the county in which the lands and properties or public corporations are located,

state, county, municipal corporation, school, and road taxes shall be paramount, upon

all the lands and other property or public corporation against which the assessments

are levied as is provided in this chapter.  No lands or properties to which the lien of the conservancy district assessments

has attached shall be forfeited to the state pursuant to its lien for taxes except

pursuant to section 5723.01 of the Revised Code .  The lien of the conservancy district assessments may be evidenced by a certificate

substantially in the form provided in section 6101.84 of the Revised Code .  The certificate and tables shall be prepared in a record by the secretary of the

conservancy district at the expense of the district. Unless expressly declared to the contrary, no warranty in any warranty deed or in

any deed made pursuant to a judicial sale shall warrant against any portion of any

assessment levied under this chapter, except past and current installments payable

in the year which the deed bears date.
