Official statutory text
for unpaid assessments.
When the assessment roll is placed on file in the office of the
district, notice by publication shall be given to property owners
that they may pay their assessments. Any owner of real property
assessed for the execution of the official plan under the provision
of this act shall have the privilege of paying such assessment to
the treasurer of the board of directors within thirty (30) days from
the time such assessment is placed on file in the office of the
district, and the amount to be paid shall be the full amount of the
assessment less any amount added thereto to meet interest. When
such assessment has been paid, the secretary of the board shall
enter upon the said assessment record opposite each tract for which
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 82. Waters and Water Rights Page 108
payment is made the words "paid in full" and such assessment shall
be deemed satisfied. The payment of such assessment shall not
relieve the land owners from the necessity for the payment of a
maintenance assessment nor for the payment of any further assessment
which may be necessary as herein provided. Any property owner
failing to pay assessments in full as provided for herein shall be
deemed to have consented to the issuance of bonds as provided for in
this act, and to payment of interest thereon.
After the expiration of the period of thirty (30) days within
which the property owners may pay their respective assessments, as
limited herein, the treasurer of the district shall certify to the
board of directors the aggregate of the amount so paid, and
thereupon the board of directors shall pass and spread upon their
records a bonding resolution in which shall be stated the amount of
the assessment, and the amount thereof paid as aforesaid, and
thereupon the board shall in the same resolution apportion the
uncollected assessment into installments or levies, provide for the
collection of interest upon the unpaid installments, and they may
order the issuance of bonds (in an amount not exceeding ninety
percent (90%) of the levy) in anticipation of the collection of said
installments. The residue of the special assessment so levied (not
less than ten percent (10%) shall constitute a contingent account to
protect the bonds from casual default, and any part thereof in
excess of the ten percent (10%) of the next installment of maturing
bond principal, together with the next two installments of
semiannual interest, if not needed for this purpose, may be
transferred from time to time to the maintenance fund of the
district.
