Prior to issuance of a permit to tap or connect a lot or parcel of land with a municipal utility, the City Administrator shall issue a certificate of compliance with one of the divisions of this section.
(A) The certificate shall state that the lot or parcel has been specially assessed for its share of the cost of construction of the sewer or water main, as the case may be, and that no installments thereof are delinquent or permit fees unpaid.
(B) The certificate shall state that the lot or parcel has not been specially assessed for its share of the cost of construction of the sewer or water main, as the case may be, but that proceedings have been, or will be, commenced, and that no permit fees are unpaid.
(C) The certificate shall state that the lot or parcel has not been specially assessed for its share of the cost of construction of the sewer or water main, as the case may be, but that a sum equal to the share has been paid to the city, and that no permit fees are unpaid. Any certificate issued under this division (C) shall provide that in the event of a subsequent assessment thereon for the utility, the amount of the assessment hereunder shall be credited against the subsequent assessment.
