Assessing ordinance - Interest on installments - Lien
Official statutory text
Assessments in conformity to the appraisement and apportionment,
as corrected and confirmed by the governing body, shall be payable
in ten equal annual installments, and shall bear interest at the
rate of not to exceed thirteen percent (13%) per annum until paid,
payable in each year at such time as the several installments are
made payable. The governing body, by ordinance and by referring to
the assessment roll as confirmed, shall levy assessments in
accordance with the assessment roll as confirmed against the several
lots and tracts of land liable therefor. The ordinance shall
provide that the owners of the property so assessed shall have the
privilege of paying the amounts of their respective assessments
without interest within thirty (30) days after the date of the
publication of the assessing ordinance. The special assessments,
and each installment thereof and the interest thereon, are hereby
declared to be a lien against the lots and tracts of land so
assessed from the date of the publication of the ordinance levying
the same, coequal with the lien of other taxes and prior and
superior to all other liens against such lots or tracts of land. The
lien shall continue as to unpaid installments and interest until the
assessments and interest thereon shall be fully paid, but unmatured
installments shall not be deemed to be within the terms of any
general convenant or warranty.
