The total principal amounts of delinquent taxes set out in this notice do not include the lawful interest, penalties, and costs which have accrued against the respective parcels of real estate. Any person or taxing authority owning or holding any tax bill or claiming any right, title, or interest in or to, or lien upon, any such parcel of real estate must file an answer to such suit in the office of the Circuit Court clerk of ............. county in .............., and a copy of such answer with the city of ............. in accordance with the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure, on or before the ....... day of ............, 19 ....., and in such answer shall set forth in detail the nature and the amount of such interest and any defense or objection to the enforcement of the tax liens, or any affirmative relief he or it may be entitled to assert with respect thereto. Any person having any right, title, or interest in or to, or lien upon, any parcel of such real estate may have the city's claims against such parcel dismissed from the action by paying all of the sums mentioned therein to the city of ............ including principal, interest, penalties, and costs then due, at any time prior to the enforcement sale of such real estate by the master commissioner. In the event of failure to answer on or before the date herein fixed as the last day for filing answer in the suit, by any person having the right to answer, such person shall be forever barred and foreclosed as to any defense or objection he might have to the enforcement of such liens for delinquent taxes and the judgment of enforcement may be taken by default. Redemption may be made for a period of sixty (60) days after the master commissioner's enforcement sale, if the sale price is less than the parcel's current assessed value as certified by the Department of Revenue. Each such person having any right, title, or interest in or to, or any lien upon, any such parcel of real estate described in the petition so failing to answer or redeem, as aforesaid, shall be forever barred and foreclosed of any right, title, or interest in or to, or lien upon, or any equity of redemption in said real estate. .............................., Kentucky (name of city) ..............................
