For the purpose of fixing the amount due on the execution and the time when the debtor's right to redeem expires, all levies shall be considered to commence on the day of the date of the administration of the oath to the appraisers, although it may appear by the return of the officer that the estate was seized on execution before, or that the proceedings were not completed until after that day.

Subchapter 3: REDEMPTION OF LEVIES BY APPRAISEMENT

§2101. Creditor out of State or unknown; payment

Real estate levied on may be redeemed within one year thereafter, by tendering to the creditor the amount of its appraisement with interest from the time of levy, with reasonable expenses incurred for its improvement or repair, or in saving it from loss by the nonpayment of taxes legally assessed thereon prior to the levy, after deducting rents and profits with which he is chargeable. The creditor shall thereupon by his deed prepared at the expense of the debtor release to him all his title to the premises. When the creditor resides out of the State, or his residence is unknown, such payment is sufficient if made to the clerk of courts in the county where the real estate levied upon is situated, and such payment has the same effect as if made to the creditor.
