(1) Any person intending to file a plat or declaration of condominium may reserve the name therefor by filing a written request on such form as may be required by the auditor and paying a fifty dollar filing fee. The request must set forth the name and address of the person filing the request and the name requested to be reserved. If the auditor finds that the plat or condominium name has not been previously used or reserved, the auditor shall reserve the name for the exclusive use of the person filing the request for a period of one year.

(2) The reservation of a plat or condominium name may be renewed from year to year after the initial reservation. To renew a plat or condominium name reservation, the person for whom the name was reserved must file a written request on such form as may be required by the auditor and pay a twenty-five dollar renewal fee on or before the expiration of the existing reservation or renewal thereof. The right of renewal may be transferred to any other person by the filing of an acknowledged notice of transfer, which notice shall state the name and address of the transferee.
