Assessments against property wholly within, partly
Official statutory text
within or wholly without or partly without boundary of city levying
assessment - Contracts for improvements.
A. Whenever the boundary of a city is upon or along any street
which at that point lies wholly within, partly within or partly
without or wholly outside of its boundary, but contiguous to the
boundary of the city, the governing body of such city may include
the street in the district, improve that portion of such street and
assess a part of the cost thereof against the abutting property
lying on both sides of such street. Provided, however, if such
street is wholly or partly within the boundary of another city, the
governing body of such other city shall, by resolution, consent to
the improvement and give its consent to assessment of the benefited
property.
B. If, within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the
ordinance levying the assessment by the city creating the district,
the governing body of the city in which the property is situated
does not, by resolution, consent or ratify the assessments, the
governing body of the city creating the district may:
1. Modify the boundary of the district to exclude the property
from the district;
2. Assume the cost of the improvement assessed against the
property lying beyond the boundary of the city; or
3. Nullify the proceedings, including any contract, relating to
the district. Any failure on the part of the governing body of the
other city to ratify the assessments levied by the city creating the
improvement district shall not affect the validity of the
assessments which have been levied against any property lying within
the limits of the city creating the improvement district.
C. The owner, or his designated agent, of any property lying
outside the boundary of the city creating the district and in the
district, including the county and any affected subdivision outside
the city, shall have the same rights granted to owners of property
lying within the boundary of the city creating the district.
D. Whenever a part of the boundary of two or more cities is
upon or along any street or is along the edge of any street and the
governing bodies of the cities determine the necessity for making an
improvement upon any portion of the street, the governing bodies of
the cities may contract, upon such terms as are to them mutually
agreeable, to make the improvement. The contract shall:
1. Authorize one of the cities to create the district pursuant
to the Improvement District Act; and
2. Prescribe the apportionment of the costs, if any, among the
cities and the manner and payment of such cost. The payment of such
costs by the cities party to the contract is lawful whether the
improvement is wholly within, partly within and partly without or
wholly outside its limits.
