547.1. Any by-law that, pursuant to section 547, imposes a special tax for the establishment of a sinking fund, and that is not based on the value of the immovable, may provide that the ratepayer on whose immovable the tax is imposed may exempt his immovable from the tax by paying in one instalment that portion of the capital which, upon maturity of the loan, would have been provided by the tax imposed on that immovable.
The share payable is calculated according to the assessment roll in force at the time the ratepayer makes the payment, taking account, where applicable, of taxes paid under the by-law before the payment.
The payment must be made before the date indicated in the by-law.
The amount of the loan is reduced by a sum equal to any sum paid under this section.
