A. The State of Oklahoma through the Department shall have a lien against the property on which the work is being performed for the amount of the loan plus interest thereon. The Department shall record a notice of lien with the county clerk where the property is located. A delinquent installment of the loan may be foreclosed by the Department and the property concerned shall be sold in the manner provided for foreclosures of mortgages on land. Any real estate sold under any order, judgment or decree of court to satisfy the lien may be redeemed by the owner or his assignee at any time within one (1) year of the date of the sale by paying to the purchaser thereof or his assignee the amount paid with interest from the date of purchase at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year. B. Repayment of each loan shall be determined according to a repayment schedule determined by the Department. C. Repayment of the loan may be deferred until that time when the loan recipient sells the property or ownership is transferred. In such cases where a loan has not been repaid after ten (10) years, another ten-year extension shall be granted if the loan recipient or the surviving spouse is still the owner-occupier of the residence. Such extensions shall be granted until such time when the property is transferred from the loan recipient or the surviving spouse to another party. D. Loan repayments shall be made to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and shall be deposited in the Energy Conservation Loan Fund.
