2021 Tennessee Code|Title 7 - Consolidated Governments and Local Governmental Functions and Entities|Chapter 84 - Central Business Improvement District Act of 1971|Part 4 - Assessments and Damages|§ 7-84-413. Levy and Payment of Assessments — Interest — Installments

  The assessment on each property shall be levied at one (1) time in the ordinance provided for in § 7-84-412. The governing body may provide in such ordinance levying the assessment that all or such portion of the assessment as is designated in the ordinance may be paid in equal installments over a period of time, not exceeding thirty (30) years from the effective date of the ordinance levying the installment.   Installments may be payable at least annually, but may be payable at more frequent intervals, as provided by the ordinance levying the assessment, and the governing body shall determine the method of collection.   Where the assessment is payable in installments, the ordinance may provide that the unpaid balance of the assessment, from time to time, shall bear interest at a rate or rates not in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum from the effective date of such ordinance or from such other date as may be specified in the ordinance, until due.

After such sixty-day period and if the ordinance levying the assessment so provides, all unpaid installments of assessments levied against any piece of property, but only in their entirety, may be paid prior to the dates on which they become due, but any such prepayment must include an additional amount equal to the interest that would accrue on the assessment to the next succeeding date on which interest is payable on any special improvement bonds issued in anticipation of the collection of the assessment, plus such additional amount as, in the opinion of the governing body of the municipality, is necessary to assure the availability of money to pay interest on the special improvement bonds as interest becomes due, and any premiums that may become payable on redeemable bonds that may be called in order to utilize the assessment thus paid in advance.   The municipality may allow, in its discretion, discounts for prepayment of assessments, or installments of assessments; provided, that such discounts do not impair the ability of the municipality fully to fund the bonds issued in pursuance of the authority granted by this chapter.

 When an assessment is payable in installments, default in the payment of any installment of principal or interest when due shall cause the whole of the unpaid principal and interest to become due and payable immediately, and the whole amount of the unpaid principal shall thereafter draw interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid; but, at any time prior to the date of sale in proceedings to enforce the lien of the delinquent assessments, the owner may pay the amount of all unpaid installments past due, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum to date of payment on the delinquent installments, and all proper costs, and shall thereupon be restored to the right thereafter to pay in installments in the same manner as if default had not occurred.

Such lien shall, however, survive any sale of the property for or on account of any unpaid taxes, and may be enforced by attachment and sale in bar of the equity of redemption, except as provided in § 7-84-417, in the chancery court or in any other lawful manner.

The fund so created shall be held in the custody of the treasurer or other official of the municipality, kept intact and separate from all other funds and moneys of the municipality and shall be paid out only for the purposes specified in this chapter and as provided in the ordinance creating the central business improvement district.

 Assessments shall be made by the board of assessment commissioners prior to the acquisition of an improvement or commencement of the construction of an improvement described in the ordinance organizing the central business improvement district or upon the completion of the improvements, at the discretion of the board of assessment commissioners. In the event, however, that such assessments prove ultimately to be in excess of the total cost, the surplus of assessments may be rebated to the owners of the property assessed. The amount to be rebated to each property owner shall be the proportion of the total rebate that the amount of the property owner's assessment bears to the total amount of all assessments originally levied. The rebate may be applied as a prepayment of any unpaid amount of the assessment and any balance shall be paid to the owner at the time the rebate is made of the property assessed. In the event that the totality of the assessment ultimately proves to be less than the total cost of all the improvements in the central business improvement district, the municipality shall be authorized to increase the assessment on each property by an amount equal to the percentage that the original assessment on each property bears to the total assessment, multiplied by the total additional assessment required of the district.
