It shall vest in the purchaser all the rights of the original owner, and purge the immoveable from all privileges and hypothecs to which it may be subject, except, subject to the reserve contained in the last paragraph of this section, the claim for special taxes imposed on the immoveable and not yet due, claims to constituted ground rents, to seigniorial rights, to rents substituted therefor, to school taxes or assessments and also the sums due to trustees for the assessments imposed upon the said immoveable to defray the expenses of building or repairs to churches, vestries, parsonages and burial grounds; but the arrears of the rents, taxes and assessments above mentioned, due before the sale, shall be extinguished by the sale, unless there has been lodged in the office of the council, at least eight days before the sale, a certified account of such arrears, taxes or assessments.
The registration of the deed of sale shall effect the cancellation of the registration of the privileges and hypothecs registered against the immoveable which are discharged by the sale.
The adjudication of an immoveable to a municipal corporation having an interest by reason of a privilege upon the said immoveable purges the latter from all constituted ground rents, rents contemplated by an emphyteutic lease and rents replacing seigniorial rights, counting from the date of the adjudication and as long as the immoveable remains the property of the said municipal corporation. Such rents shall again be an encumbrance upon the immoveable, but for the future only, counting from the date when the immoveable ceases to be the property of the municipal corporation.
