I know from experience, requesting a gas meter from the city can take a few weeks (8 weeks in FL for me).   

There were areas in the City (Mira Mesa & Claremont) starting to push into the 600's and 700's for a similar home. 

This property is located in Charlotte, NC not far from the city's center.Is there somewhere I can contact to assist with mortgage payoff since its such a small amount?

Hi Matt, I have consulted with Sterling Bank (cupertino, daly city location..) couple times and I really like them.

I did have to pay an extension fee due to their closing date and the municipal search in that city, and the fact after we went under contract they allowed the basement to flood (finished space) and never told me until I found out myself the day prior to closing.

They are all co-located in the same neighborhood and though it's located in the middle of the city, it happened to be on just enough of a high ground to avoid flooding.

We’ve been on a long run (10-ish years) and I live in a particularly hot city (Austin, TX).

Just about everything I'm seeing needs cosmetic work on the interior: finishes, kitchen, bathroom, etc.Port Richmond is the next town over, away from center city.

@Daniel Caraway You need to find out what the legal use is shown at the city's Building Department.

Cities/utility companies rarely are going to want to do some kind of pro-rated payment plan.
