2021 Colorado Code|Title 37 - Water and Irrigation|Article 50 - Republican River Water Conservation District|§ 37-50-114. Assessments - Procedure in Making

  If the board provides for the financing of the construction or acquisition of the works or other improvements proposed and of the other steps necessary to the development and implementation of the district's official plan by special assessments to be levied against the appraised benefits to property within the district, then the board may make assessments from time to time, as required, and, in making the assessments, the board shall be guided by the procedure for the levy of similar assessments under the conservancy law of this state, articles 1 to 8 of this title, and particularly sections 37-5-104 to 37-5-106.    From time to time, as the affairs of the district may demand, the board may levy on all property upon which benefits have been appraised an assessment of such portion of benefits as may be found necessary by the board to pay the cost of the appraisal, the preparation and execution of the official plan for the district, and the superintendence of construction and administration during the period of construction, plus ten percent of the total to be added for contingencies, but not to exceed in the total of principal the appraised benefits so adjudicated. The assessments, to be known as the ”construction fund assessment“, shall be apportioned to and levied on each tract of land or other property in the district in proportion to the benefits appraised and not in excess thereof, and in case bonds are issued, then the amount of interest that will accrue on such bonds as estimated by the board shall be included in and added to the assessment; except that the interest to accrue on account of the issuance of bonds shall not be construed as a part of the cost of construction in determining whether the expenses and cost of making the improvement are equal to or in excess of the benefits appraised.    As soon as the assessment is levied, the secretary of the district, at the expense thereof, shall prepare in duplicate an assessment of the district. The assessment shall be in the form of a well-bound book endorsed and named ”Construction Fund Assessment Record of the Republican River Water Conservation District“. The record shall be in the form of similar records for conservancy districts under the laws of this state, particularly section 37-5-104. Assessments may be paid in the manner provided in section 37-5-105 relating to conservancy districts under the laws of this state. All proceedings provided in such sections with respect to conservancy districts shall apply to the assessments, the records thereof, and the manner of payment of assessments of the district.

 All assessments on account of special improvements against appraised benefits and interest thereon and penalties for default of payment thereof, together with the cost of collecting the same, from the date of the filing of the construction fund and the assessment record in the office of the treasurer of the county in which the lands and property are situated, shall constitute a perpetual lien in an amount not in excess of the benefits severally appraised upon the land and other property against which assessments have been levied and such benefits appraised. No sale of the property to enforce any general state, county, city, town, or school tax or other lien shall extinguish the perpetual lien of the assessment. At any time, a landowner may pay the full amount of the assessment, and thereafter the property of the landowner shall be clear and free from lien and shall not be subject to assessment for and on account of benefits appraised against any other land or default in the payment of assessments made against any other land.

  In the name of the district, the district may issue general obligations or bonds that shall constitute a lien against the real property in the district. Obligations shall bear interest at a rate such that the net effective interest rate of the issue does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate authorized. Interest shall be payable semiannually, and obligations may be made payable in series becoming due not less than five years and not more than fifty years after the date of issue. The bonds may be sold in one or more series at par, or below or above par, at public or private sale, in such manner and for such price as the district, in its discretion, shall determine. As an incidental expense of the issuance, the district may employ financial and legal consultants in regard to the financing of the official plan. The district may exchange all or a part of its bonds for all or an equivalent part of property or services included in the official plan for which the bonds are issued, if the exchange is preceded by determination of the fair value of the property or services exchanged for the bonds. Such determination shall be by resolution of the board and shall be conclusive.    Such bonds are to be paid from assessments levied from time to time, as the bonds and interest thereon become due, against the taxable property in the district and not otherwise. Such levies shall not be limited as to rate or amount; except that they shall not exceed a rate reasonably required to yield revenues needed to pay bonds and interest as they mature, plus any other amounts required for debt service, less the amount of any other revenues available to the district for payment of bonds and debt service. The board shall certify, to the boards of county commissioners of the several counties in which the district or any part thereof is located, the amount of the levy necessary to be made upon the taxable property in the district to yield the required revenues becoming due on all outstanding bonds at the same time that certifications of the district's mill levy assessment for general district purposes are made. The procedure for the assessment and collection of ad valorem taxes of the county is, except as may be otherwise provided in this article, made applicable and is to be followed in the levy of assessments for payment of taxes and collection of principal and debt service on such general obligations or bonds.
