      2.  If the assessment roll is maintained on magnetic storage files in a computer system, the requirement of subsection 1 is met if the system is capable of producing, as printed output, the assessment roll with the dates of payments shown opposite the name of the person or the description of the property liable for the taxes.

All interest paid on money deposited in the county treasury pursuant to this paragraph is the property of the county.
