At any time after the expiration of twelve months from the date of sale, the superintendent shall execute and deliver to the purchaser, or his assignee, on his application, if he has fully complied with this section, a deed to the property sold, in which shall be recited substantially the matters contained in the certificate, any assignment thereof, and that no person has redeemed the property.
B. The purchaser or his assignee shall at least thirty days before application for a deed, serve upon the owner, and if the property is occupied, upon the occupant, a written notice that the property, giving the description, has been sold for a delinquent assessment, specifying the improvement for which it was made, the amount for which it was sold, the amount necessary to redeem at the time of giving notice, and the time when the purchaser or assignee will apply to the street superintendent for a deed.
