Law: Contract(s) / house purchase contract
Swedish term or phrase: erlagts
The sentence is from a contract regarding the purchase of a house: "Säljaren garanterar, att på fastigheten belöpande VA-anslutningsavgifter erlagts, därest sådan ersättningsskyldighet inträtt."

I am a bit confused about the whole sentence, but in particular the word "erlagts", as I don't know what tense it is.

This is just a fancy way of saying that the seller guarantees that fees for connecting to water and plumming system have been paid, if there is an obligation to do so.

I do not know though how to say this in an equally fancy way in English...

agree  Peter Linton (X): Just for the record, a fancier way of saying this might be "have been settled." (incidentally, "plumbing", Latin plumbum, not plumming!
