(1) If any bond or interest coupon on a bond issued by a special road and bridge district is not paid within 60 days after it matures, a receiver may be appointed in the same manner as in s. 298.51. The qualifications, duties, and powers of the receiver shall be the same as those provided in s. 298.51. Pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the receiver may, to the same extent and subject to the same limitations, levy, assess, and collect any tax or special assessment which the commissioners may levy, assess, and collect for special road and bridge district purposes. (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 197.552, if a tax deed is issued on any property within the district after a receiver has been appointed under subsection (1), the claim of a person holding a bond or interest coupon on a bond described in subsection (1) shall survive the issuance of such tax deed.
