Official statutory text
Whenever a railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way is included within an assessment district, the railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way shall be included in the initiating resolution, the engineer’s report, and the resolution of intention. The railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way shall be assessed only if, and to the extent that, it is found that it will benefit from the installation and maintenance of the proposed improvement, and the railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way shall be subject to the same penalties, and the same procedure and sale, in the event of delinquency as other parcels in the assessment district. In determining whether or not the railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way benefits, its use as a right-of-way for a railroad, gas, water, or electric utility shall be presumed to be permanent.
