Upon expiration of the right to usufruct obtained by a municipality, pursuant to subsections (a)–(d) of § 1093b of this title, or when the municipality involved has not requested an extension, any government entity that owns a piece of land on which a usufruct has been established pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may choose any of the following alternatives, thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the usufruct:
(a) To accept the piece of land in the same condition it is at the time the right to usufruct expires. In this case, the municipality may remove any of the property it has installed on each piece of land involved.
(b) To request the municipality to return said piece of land to it, in the same condition it was the first time the usufruct was established, except for those changes that have occurred or may occur because of the passage of time and natural deterioration. The costs involved in returning the lot in the same condition it was when the usufruct was established for the first time shall be defrayed by the municipality.
Any of the alternatives chosen by the titleholder of the piece of land must be notified to the mayor of the municipality involved within the term provided in this section.
