Utility ad valorem taxes shall be paid within the period fixed for payment of ad valorem taxes generally or within 20 days following certification by the state revenue commissioner, whichever is later. The chief financial officer is further empowered to collect, levy, issue, transfer and assign all fi. fas. for taxes and fines, to sell property so levied on under rules governing the sheriff and his or her deputies, to issue and assign executions and instanter executions for taxes and assessments, and to perform such other services as the governing body shall prescribe by ordinance; provided, however, property so levied upon may be redeemed by proportionate payment of taxes, as provided for by law. Provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall abrogate the central assessment and return provisions of general law as applied to public utilities.
