(1) a receiver;
(2) a trustee in dissolution;
(3) a trustee in bankruptcy;
(4) a commissioner appointed for the sale of real estate; or
(5) any other officer acting under the authority and supervision of a court;
only if the account or final report shows and the court finds that all property taxes on real property have been paid or otherwise satisfied.
(b) A fiduciary described in subsection (a) shall provide proof to a court that all property taxes on real property for which the due date has passed as of the date that the account or report is approved have been paid or satisfied. The fiduciary shall request the county treasurer of the county where real property is located to issue a certificate of clearance certifying that all property taxes that are due and payable have been paid or satisfied. The certificate shall be issued by the county treasurer within three (3) business days after request on a form provided by the state board of accounts. When issued, the certificate is conclusive proof that property taxes are not due.
(c) If the county treasurer of the county where real property is located fails to issue a certificate of clearance under subsection (b) within thirty (30) days after request, a fiduciary may provide evidence to a court that demonstrates that property taxes on real property are not due. Upon approval by the court, the evidence is conclusive proof of payment or satisfaction of the tax imposed by this article.
