2. Upon such a payment, a conditional tax receipt shall be issued and the amount thereof conditionally credited by the municipal corporation against the taxes due on the property for which payment is made, but such payment shall not extinguish the tax lien existing against such property until the conditional tax receipt is surrendered for cancellation to the municipal corporation.
