Levy of assessments
Official statutory text
After the list of real property, with the appraised benefits as
approved by the court, or that part thereof from which no appeal is
pending has been filed with the secretary of the district, then from
time to time, as the affairs of the district demand it, the board of
directors shall levy on all real or other property upon which
benefits have been appraised, an assessment of such portion of said
benefits as may be found necessary by said board to pay the cost of
the execution of the official plan including superintendence of
construction and administration, plus ten percent (10%) of said
total, to be added for contingencies, but not to exceed, in the
total of principal, the appraised benefits so adjudicated. The said
assessment shall be apportioned to and levied on each tract of land
or other property in said district in proportion to the benefits
appraised, and not in excess thereof and in case bonds are issued as
provided herein and hereafter, then the amount of interest, which
will accrue on such bonds, as estimated by said board of directors,
shall be included in and added to the said assessment, but the
interest to accrue on account of the issuing of said bonds shall not
be construed as a part of the cost of construction in determining
whether or not the expenses and costs of making said improvements
are or are not equal to or in excess of the benefits appraised. As
soon as said assessment is levied, the board shall report it to the
court for confirmation. Upon the entry of the order of the court
confirming the assessment the clerk of the court shall transmit a
certified copy of said order to the governing or taxing body of each
political subdivision assessed and said governing or taxing body
shall receive and file the same. After the court has confirmed the
assessment, the secretary of the board of directors, at the expense
of the district, shall prepare in duplicate an assessment record of
the district.
