valorem taxes are collected, and any tax sale shall include all

charges, and such lien may be evidenced by any ad valorem tax sale

certificate including said charge substantially in the form required

by law.

If any assessment made pursuant to the provisions of this title

shall prove invalid, the board of directors shall subsequently amend

all acts or proceedings promptly, and without delay remedy all

defects or irregularities as the case may require by making and

providing for the collection of new assessments or otherwise.

Unless expressly declared to the contrary, no warranty deed or

other deed made pursuant to a judicial sale shall warrant against

any portion of any assessment or assessments levied hereunder except

installments due before the date of such deed.
