The exemption base\nshall be the amount by which the assessed value of a property on the\nassessment roll upon which the revaluation is implemented exceeds the\nprior year's equalized assessed value, as determined in the initial\nyear. The prior year's equalized assessed value shall be determined by\napplying the applicable change in level of assessment factor to the\nprior year's assessed value. Such exemption base shall not include\nincreases due to a physical improvement or a removal or reduction of an\nexemption on property.\n  (ii) Any increase in the assessment of a property due to physical\nchanges in the year following the implementation roll shall not be\neligible for the exemption.

Such application shall be filed with the\nassessor on or before the appropriate taxable status date for the\nassessment roll upon which the revaluation is implemented.\n  (b) If the assessor is satisfied that the applicant is entitled to an\nexemption pursuant to this section, he or she shall approve the\napplication and the taxable assessed value shall be reduced by the\nexemption, as in this section provided commencing with the assessment\nroll prepared after the taxable status date. The assessed value of any\nexemption granted pursuant to this section shall be entered by the\nassessor on the assessment roll with the amount of the exemption shown\nin a separate column.\n  (c) In the event that the residential property granted an exemption\npursuant to this section transfers ownership or otherwise ceases to meet\nthe eligibility requirements of the exemption in subdivision two of this\nsection, the exemption granted pursuant to this section shall be\ndiscontinued.

Said statutory lien shall not be\nconstrued to give any holder or owner of any bond of the authority power\nto compel the sale of any water system.\n  7. If there be any default by the water board in the making of the\npayments to the authority required under this section, as a result of\nthe failure by the water board to impose sufficient fees, rates, rents\nor other charges, the authority may petition for the appointment by any\ncourt having jurisdiction in any proper action of a receiver to\nadminister on behalf of the water board, under the direction of said\ncourt, the affairs of the water board in order to achieve system\nrevenues at least sufficient to make such payments; and by and with the\napproval of said court, to establish, fix and revise, from time to time,\nfees, rates, rents or other charges at least sufficient therefor in\nconformity with this title, and the resolution or trust indenture of the\nauthority providing for the issuance of its bonds and in accordance with\nsuch orders as the court shall make.\n  8.
