Assessments for cost of acquisition
Official statutory text
(a) In the event condemnation proceedings have been instituted
in connection with the construction of such limited access facility
and interim certificates have been issued by the governing body or
board of county commissioners in accordance with this article, at
such time as all the proceedings become final and it may thus be
determined with definiteness the exact amount of money so advanced
by the contractor for that purpose, the governing body or the board
of county commissioners shall, by resolution, determine the exact
sum, together with accrued interest, due to the owners and holders
of the outstanding certificates, and shall appoint a time for
holding a session to apportion such total sum, and to hear
objections thereto.
(b) Notice of such hearing shall be published by the city or
county clerk in five consecutive issues of a daily newspaper or in
two consecutive issues of a weekly newspaper published in the county
and in general circulation in the city or county. The time fixed
for hearing shall not be less than five (5) days nor more than
fifteen (15) days from the date of the last publication.
(c) At the time and place specified in such notice the governing
body or the board of county commissioners shall apportion the amount
among the tracts, pieces and parcels of land in exact ratio and pro
rata to the apportionments theretofore made in accordance with this
article for the cost of construction; and objections and complaints
shall be limited to whether or not such apportionments are, or are
not, in strict ratio or in identical proportions to such previous
assessment.
(d) The apportionments shall be levied by ordinance or
resolution, which shall provide that the owners of the property so
assessed shall have the privilege of paying the amounts of their
respective assessments without interest at any time within thirty
(30) days from the date of the first publication of the ordinance or
resolution.
