Official statutory text

the area of the land liable to assessments for any improvement
petition the county commissioners of such county for the improvement
of any road, street, alley, lane, or avenue, or part thereof, not
less than six hundred (600) feet in length, the petition shall
describe the character of the improvement desired, the width of the
same, and the materials preferred by the petitioners for such
improvement. The petition shall show the petitioners are the record
title holders of the land liable for assessment and shall include a
plat of the area to be assessed which shows the area of each parcel
of land to be assessed on a pro rata basis of the entire area to be
assessed, the preliminary plans, typical sections, and estimates.
The notice providing for determining the necessity of such
improvements shall not be published as provided in Section 1234 of

The finding of the board of county commissioners as to the
sufficiency of any such petition shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, including prohibiting protest or objection to such
improvement, and against all persons. The board shall have the
power to have hearings on said petition and compel the attendance of
witnesses under oath to determine the sufficiency of said petition,
and no action or suit to question the findings of the board on the
sufficiency of said petition shall be commenced later than fifteen
(15) days after such finding. Upon finding the petition sufficient,
the board shall cause such improvements to be made in accordance
with the prayer of said petition as nearly as may be practicable.
