The total costs of serving the notice of intention to take a tax deed, whether by publication or otherwise, together with the costs of the affidavit and cost of records search, cost of location of owners, and attorney fee, may not exceed four hundred dollars. These costs shall be added to the redemption money if the treasurer received written notice that the service had begun or was made, and a verified statement of the costs was filed in the treasurer's office, before redemption is made. If more than one description is included in any notice, and service is made by publication, the cost of publication shall be apportioned among the various descriptions in the proportion that each description bears to the entire cost of publication of the notice.
