If a party suing a county recovers in the action more than the board of county commissioners allowed, or offered to allow, the board and the county auditor shall allow the amount of the judgment and costs as a just claim against the county. If the party suing does not recover more than the board and the county auditor offered to allow the party, then costs must be recovered against the party by the county, and may be deducted from the demand.
