Of the installment so paid each year, the amount at the specified interest rate on the principal remaining unpaid shall be credited as interest and the balance credited to reduction of the loan principal.

(1) The Department of State Lands shall foreclose all mortgages taken to evidence loans from the Common School Fund or other funds whenever more than one year’s interest on the loan is due and unpaid or whenever any mortgage becomes inadequate security for the money loaned. The department may foreclose its mortgage in the event of waste or any other impairment of the property upon which the loan was made. It may also foreclose for delinquency in payment of principal or interest installments or in payment of taxes on such property.
(2) The department may bid in the land in the name of the state at a price not to exceed the total amount of the state’s claim or they may accept a deed or a release of the equity of redemption. Should it appear to the satisfaction of the department that the mortgagee cannot make the payment of interest and that foreclosure would work an injustice and that foreclosure is not then necessary to secure the fund from loss, the department may extend the time for paying such interest not exceeding two years.

Upon the receipt of such notice, the county court shall cancel on the county tax records unpaid taxes levied and assessed against such property in that county. This section does not apply to tax liens of irrigation or drainage districts organized prior to the effective date of the lien of the department.
