§256.7. Filing of bond or other security; cancellation of statement of claim or privilege
A. If a statement of claim or privilege is filed, any interested party may deposit with the recorder of mortgages either a bond of a lawful surety company authorized to do business in the state or cash, certified funds, or a federally insured certificate of deposit to guarantee payment of the obligation secured by the privilege or that portion as may be lawfully due together with interest, costs, and attorney fees to which the claimant may be entitled up to a total amount of one hundred twenty-five percent of the principal amount of the claim as asserted in the statement of claim or privilege. A surety shall not have the benefit of division or discussion.
B. If the recorder of mortgages finds the amount of the cash, certified funds, or certificate of deposit or the terms and amount of a bond deposited with him to be in conformity with this Section, he shall note his approval on the bond and make note of either the bond or of the cash, certified funds, or certificate of deposit in the margin of the statement of claim or privilege as it is recorded in the mortgage records and cancel the statement of claim or privilege from his records by making an appropriate notation in the margin of the recorded statement. The bond shall not be recorded but shall be retained by the recorder of mortgages as a part of his records.
C. Any party who files a bond or other security to guarantee payment of an obligation secured by a privilege in accordance with the provisions of Subsection A of this Section shall give notice to the department, the claimant, and the contractor by certified mail, and shall file a certified copy of the cancellation of the statement of claim or privilege by the recorder of mortgages, showing the recordation data, with the undersecretary of the department by certified mail.
