Upon completion of the repair or rehabilitation, the certified applicant shall submit to the preservation officer a sworn statement of completion acknowledging that the structure has been substantially repaired or rehabilitated in accordance with the plan approved by the Main Street Board of Directors and City Council. Applicant must also present documentation verifying that the cost of repair or rehabilitation meets or exceeds the amounts established in § 36.47 of this chapter. The preservation officer, upon receipt of the sworn statement of completion, but no later than 30 days thereafter, shall make an investigation of the property and shall determine if the property has been substantially completed as required for certification. If the repair or renovation deviated in any way from the construction plan approved by Council, the Main Street Board of Directors shall determine whether the modifications are in accordance with the original application. If verification of completion shall be deemed unfavorable, the certified applicant shall be required to complete or correct the repair or rehabilitation in order to obtain the tax exemption provided by this subchapter. If the verification of completion is favorable, the preservation office shall notify the City Administrator in writing of the compliance. Thereafter, the City Administrator shall execute a tax abatement certificate and forward the same to the Tax Assessor/Collector for the county.
