In such cases, the tax collector may record with the county recorder of any county a certificate which shall set forth the name of the person who would have been the assessee in the year in which such real property escaped assessment and the amount or amounts of any such assessments and penalties. From the date of the recording of such certificate, a lien shall be created and shall attach against any real property owned by such person in the county or counties in which any such certificates may have been recorded, which lien shall have the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien.
