If any lot or parcel of land upon which there is an unpaid assessment represented by bonds issued under this division is subdivided, including a division into condominium interests as defined in Section 783 of the Civil Code, or the ownership of a portion of such lot or parcel of land is transferred to another person, the owner of any interest in any of the lots or parcels into which the original lot or parcel has been divided shall file an application in writing with the street superintendent. The application shall indicate how the original lot or parcel has been divided or transferred, request the street superintendent to apportion the amount remaining unpaid on the assessment in accordance with the division, and be accompanied by a fee in an amount to be fixed by the legislative body for each separate part or parcel of land into which the original lot or parcel has been divided or transferred. The street superintendent shall deposit all such fees in the treasury.
