 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-50)Sec. 9-2-50.         Within 30 days after the entry of confirmation of the  assessment roll in such a proceeding described in Section 9-2-49, the clerk  of the court in which the judgment is rendered shall certify the assessment  roll and judgment to the officer of the municipality authorized to collect  the special assessment or tax. If, however, there has been an appeal taken  on any part of the judgment, then the designated clerk shall certify such  part of the judgment as is not included in that appeal and this  certification shall be filed by the officer receiving it, in his office.  With the assessment roll and judgment, the clerk of the specified court  shall also issue and deliver a warrant for the collection of the assessment  or tax. Upon the delivery of this warrant to the designated collecting  officer, the first installment of such assessment or tax shall be  immediately due and payable. The second installment of the assessment or  tax shall be due and payable on the second day of January next after the  date of the first voucher issued on account of work done, if the  uncollected portion of the first installment has been returned delinquent  to the authorized county officer as provided in this article, but if the  same has not been so returned delinquent, then the second installment shall  be due and payable one year after that second day of January. The third and  subsequent installments shall be due and payable respectively at successive  annual periods after the second installment becomes due and payable. The  amount awarded to any person for property taken or damaged may be applied,  at the option of the owner of that property, as an offset to the amount of  benefits assessed in the first and succeeding installments against any  property owned by that person and assessed in that proceeding.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-52)Sec. 9-2-52.         Whenever sufficient funds are on hand, the corporate  authorities of the municipality issuing improvement bonds shall direct  the treasurer, or such other officer as may be designated by ordinance  for that purpose, to select by lot, bonds of series to be paid, or the  corporate authorities shall direct the treasurer or the other officer so  designated to make a pro rata payment on all unpaid bonds in the series.  The treasurer or other officer so designated shall send notice by  registered mail to the address of the known owner of each of the  designated bonds as set out in the treasurer's records, specifying a day  not less than 30 days after the date of the notice, upon which the  designated bonds will be paid either in full or in part, as the case may  be, at his office. He shall also supplement this notice by publishing a  notice of the number of bonds to be so paid, not less than 15 days prior  to the day set for payment, in one or more newspapers published in the  municipality, or, if no newspaper is published therein, then in one or  more newspapers with a general circulation within the municipality. In  municipalities with less than 500 population in which no newspaper is  published, publication may instead be made by posting a notice in 3  prominent places within the municipality, the series thereof, the  assessment to which they relate and the particular bonds so selected to  be paid if payment is to be made in full or in case a pro rata payment  is to be made, naming the particular series upon which the partial  payment is to be made, and that the same will be paid at a place to be  specified.Thereupon from the specified date of payment these bonds shall be  payable on demand either in full or in part, as the case may be, at the  place so appointed. No further interest shall accrue on the bonds  selected to be paid in full or on that portion of the principal on bonds  to be paid in part. However, in municipalities, having a population of  100,000 or more, the selection by lot and the mailing and publishing of  notice may be omitted if bonds or vouchers in any series having  sufficient funds on hand are presented for payment. In this latter case  the bonds so presented may be paid in full, both as to principal and  interest, in their order of presentation, within the limits of the funds  available.The provisions of this section shall apply to all proceedings now  pending, proceedings in which judgment has been entered, and all future  proceedings, except that the provisions of this section shall not apply  to bonds issued under Section 9-2-127.

Petitioner, in addition to other notices hereinbefore provided  for, shall publish a notice at least twice, not more than 30 nor less than  15 days in advance of the time at which confirmation of the specified  assessment is to be sought, in one or more newspapers published in the  municipality or, if no newspaper is published therein, then in one or more  newspapers with a general circulation within the municipality. In  municipalities with less than 500 population in which no newspaper is  published, publication may be made by posting a notice in 3 prominent  places within the municipality.  The notice shall be over the name of the  officer levying the assessment, and shall be substantially as follows:    "SPECIAL ASSESSMENT NOTICE""Notice is hereby given to all persons interested that the city council  (or board of trustees, or other corporate authority, as the case may be) of  .... having ordered that (here insert a brief description of the nature of  the improvement), the ordinance for the improvement being on file in the  office of the .... clerk, having applied to the .... court of .... county  for an assessment of the costs of the improvement, according to benefits,  and an assessment therefor having been made and returned to that court, the  final hearing thereon will be had on (insert date), or as soon thereafter as the business of the court will permit.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-56)Sec. 9-2-56.         Upon objections or motion for that purpose, the court in which  the specified proceeding is pending may inquire in a summary way whether  the officer making the report has omitted any property benefited and  whether or not the assessment, as made and returned, is an equitable and  just distribution of the cost of the improvement, first, between the public  and the property, and second, among the parcels of property assessed. The  court has the power, on such application being made, to revise and correct  the assessments levied, to change or modify the distribution of the total  cost between the public and property benefited, to change the manner of  distribution among the parcels of private property, and to strike out of  the roll of awards by the commissioners filed in the case the amount or  amounts shown as compensation for property which property has been  theretofore donated by any person or persons for the making of the proposed  improvement, so as to produce a just and equitable assessment, considering  the nature of the property assessed, and its capacity for immediate use of  the improvement when completed.The court may either make such corrections or changes, or determine in  general the manner in which the corrections or changes shall be made, and  refer the assessment roll to any competent person for revision, correction  or alteration in such manner as the court may determine. The determination  of the court as to the correctness of the distribution of the cost of the  improvement between the public and the property to be assessed, is  appealable as in other civil cases.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-57)Sec. 9-2-57.         On the application of the petitioner, at any time after the  return day, the court may set down all objections, except the objection  that the property of the objector will not be benefited to the amount  assessed against it, and that it is assessed more than its proportionate  share of the cost of the improvement, for a hearing at a time to be fixed  by the court. Upon this hearing the court shall determine all questions  relating to the sufficiency of the proceedings, the distribution of the  cost of the improvement between the public and the property, and of the  benefits between the different parcels of property assessed, together with  all other questions arising in that proceeding, with the exception  specified, and shall thereupon enter an order in accordance with the  conclusions it reaches. But this order shall not be a final disposition of  any of those questions for the purpose of appeal, unless the objectors  waive further controversy as to the remaining question upon the record.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-58)Sec. 9-2-58.         If it is objected on the part of any property assessed for  such an improvement, that it will not be benefited thereby to the amount  assessed thereon, and that it is assessed more than its proportionate share  of the cost of the improvement, and a jury is not waived by agreement of  parties, the court shall impanel a jury to try that issue.  In that case,  unless otherwise ordered by the court, all such objections shall be tried  and disposed of before a single jury.  The assessment roll, as returned by  the officer who made it, or as revised and corrected by the court on the  hearing of the legal objections, shall be prima facie evidence of the  correctness of the amount assessed against each objecting owner but shall  not be counted as the testimony of any witness or witnesses in the cause.  That assessment roll may be submitted to the jury and may be taken into the  jury room by the jury when it retires to deliberate on its verdict.  Either  party may introduce such other evidence as may bear upon that issue or  issues.  The hearing shall be conducted as in other civil cases.  If it  appears that the property of any objector is assessed more than it will be  benefited by the specified improvement, or more than its proportionate  share of the cost of the improvement, the jury shall so find, and it shall  also find the amount for which that property ought to be assessed, and  judgment shall be rendered accordingly.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-59)Sec. 9-2-59.         Wherever, on a hearing by the court, or before a jury, the  amount of any assessment is reduced or cancelled, so that there is a  deficiency in the total amount remaining assessed in the proceeding, the  court may, in the same proceeding, distribute this deficiency upon the  other property in the district assessed, in such manner as the court finds  just and equitable, not exceeding, however, the amount such property will  be benefited by the specified improvement.In case any portion of this deficiency is charged against such property  not represented in court, a new notice, of the same nature as the original  notice, shall be given in like manner as the original notice, to show the  cause why the assessment, as thus increased, should not be confirmed. The  owners of or parties interested in such property have the right to object  in the same form and with the same effect as in case of the original  assessment, and the court has the same power to dispose thereof.

The court before which any such proceedings may be pending may  modify, alter, change, annul, or confirm any assessment returned as  specified, in addition to the authority already conferred upon it, and may  take all such proceedings, and make all such orders, as may be necessary to  the improvement, according to the principles of this article, and may from  time to time, as may be necessary, continue the application for that  purpose, as to the whole or any part of the premises.After an ordinance for any local improvement has been filed in court,  and after the report and assessment roll relating thereto has been filed,  but before the court has entered its final judgment thereupon, the  corporate authorities may petition the court for the abandonment of any  portion of the proposed improvement. Such petition shall be supported by a  recommendation of the board of local improvements and an ordinance adopted  by the corporate authorities pursuant to Section 9-2-6 hereof, as amended  by this amendatory act of 1963. Upon the filing of such petition, the court  may order the adjustment of the assessment roll according to the changes  requested in the petition.    (Source: Laws 1963, p. 2424.)
