Assumption by the municipality occurs when the developer has met all requirements for final acceptance. Three milestones in the acceptance process are: Underground Completion, where public services up to base asphalt are completed; Completion Certificate, after home construction and public services are completed, then the 24-month maintenance period commences; Assumption, when the 24-month maintenance period has expired and all deficiencies have been corrected by the developer.
