  Following the furnishing of the statement of the cost of the project, the board by resolution shall:   Determine the cost of the project to be paid by the assessable property in the improvement district;    Order the engineer to make out an assessment roll containing, among other things:   The name of each last-known owner of each tract to be assessed or, if not known, that the name is unknown; and    A description of each tract to be assessed and the amount of the proposed assessment thereon, apportioned upon the basis for assessments stated in the provisional order for the hearing on the project;       Cause a copy of the resolution to be furnished by the secretary to the engineer.       In fixing the amount or the sum of money that may be required to pay the cost of the project, the board need not necessarily be governed by the estimates of such cost provided for in this article, but the board may fix such other sum within the limits prescribed as it may deem necessary to cover the cost of the project.    If by mistake or otherwise any person is improperly designated in the assessment roll as the owner of any tract or if the same is assessed without the name of the owner or in the name of a person other than the owner, such assessment shall not for that reason be vitiated, but it shall in all respects be as valid upon and against such tract as though assessed in the name of the owner thereof. When the assessment roll has been confirmed, such assessment shall become a lien on such tract and shall be collected as provided by law.     History. Source: L. 69: P. 798, § 146.

  If the assessment is made upon the basis of frontage, the engineer shall assess each tract with such relative portion of the whole amount to be levied as the length of front of such premises bears to the whole frontage of all the tracts to be assessed, and the frontage of all tracts to be assessed shall be deemed to be the aggregate number of feet as determined for assessment by the engineer.    If the assessment is directed to be according to an area or zone or another equitable basis other than a front-foot basis, the engineer shall assess upon each tract such relative portion of the whole sum to be levied as is proportionate to the estimated benefit according to such basis.    Regardless of the basis used, in cases of wedge-shaped or V-shaped or any other irregular-shaped tracts, an amount apportioned thereto shall be in proportion to the special benefits thereby derived.    No assessment shall exceed the amount of the estimate of maximum special benefits to the tract assessed, as provided in section 32-11-607 (2).    Any amount which would be assessed against any tract in the absence of both limitations in subsections (3) and (4) of this section shall be defrayed by other than the levy of assessments.

  After the assessment roll is in final form and is so confirmed by resolution, the urban district by the same or by a supplemental resolution shall by reference to such assessment roll as so modified, if modified, and as confirmed by such resolution, levy the assessments in the roll.    The board shall cause the resolution levying the assessments to be published at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the improvement district.    No assessment shall be levied for any capital improvements acquired by the urban district and located or to be located on any land until the board by the adoption of such resolution or otherwise determines that the district has the right to possession of such land or an interest therein for the purpose of acquiring the improvements.    Such decision and resolution shall be a final determination of the regularity, validity, and correctness of the proceedings, of the assessment plat, of the assessment roll, of each assessment contained therein, and of the amount thereof levied on each tract.    Such determination by the board shall be conclusive upon the owners of the property assessed.

  All assessments made in pursuance of the assessment resolution shall be due and payable without demand not earlier than thirty-one days after its publication upon its final passage and within sixty days after such publication.    Each such assessment or any part thereof may at the election of the owner be paid in installments with interest as provided in this article, whenever the board so authorizes the payment of assessments.    Failure to pay the whole assessment within such period of thirty days shall be conclusively considered an election on the part of all persons interested, whether under disability or otherwise, to pay in installments the amount of the assessment then unpaid.    All persons so electing to pay in installments shall be conclusively considered as consenting to the project for which each such assessment was levied, and such election shall be conclusively considered as a waiver of all rights to question the power of jurisdiction of the urban district to acquire or improve, or acquire and improve, the project, the quality of the work, the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings, or the validity or the correctness of the assessment.    The owner of any tract assessed may at any time pay the whole unpaid principal and the interest accrued to the next interest payment date, together with penalties if any. The board may require in the assessment resolution the payment of a premium for any prepayment not exceeding seven percent of each installment of principal so prepaid.    Subject to the foregoing provisions, all installments, both of principal and interest, shall be payable at such times as may be determined in and by the assessment resolution.     History.

  Failure to pay any installment, whether principal or interest, when due shall ipso facto cause the whole amount of the unpaid principal to become due and payable immediately at the option of the urban district, security holder, or trustee therefor initiating foreclosure proceedings, the exercise of such option to be indicated by the commencement of foreclosure proceedings for not only each delinquent installment but also all other unpaid installments of any assessment.    At any time prior to the day of sale, the owner may pay the amount of delinquent installments, with accrued interest, all penalties, and cost of collection accrued, including but not necessarily limited to any attorneys' fees, and shall thereupon be restored to the right thereafter to pay in installments in the same manner as if default had not been made.

  In case of such election to pay in installments, the assessment shall be payable in not less than two nor more than twenty substantially equal annual installments or not less than four nor more than forty substantially equal semiannual installments of principal.    Interest in all cases on the unpaid principal accruing from the date of publishing the assessment resolution upon its final passage until the respective installment due dates shall be payable annually or semiannually at a rate not exceeding eight percent per annum; except that, in the case of an assessment initiated subsequent to July 1, 1984, such interest shall not exceed the maximum rate fixed by the board in the notice of the provisional order hearing given pursuant to sections 32-11-608 and 32-11-609.    Nothing in this article shall limit the discretion of the board in determining whether assessments shall be payable in installments and the time the first installment of principal or of interest, or of both, and any subsequent installments thereof shall become due.    The board in the assessment resolution shall state the number of installments in which assessments may be paid, the period of payment, the rate of interest upon the unpaid installments of principal to their respective due dates, any privileges of making prepayments, and any premium to be paid to the urban district for exercising any such privilege, the rate of interest upon unpaid principal and accrued interest after any delinquency at the rate of one percent per month, or any fraction thereof, and any penalties and any collection costs payable after delinquency.

  The payment of the amount so assessed, including each installment thereof, the interest thereon, and any penalties and collection costs shall be secured by an assessment lien upon the tract assessed from the date of publication of the assessment resolution.    Each such lien upon each tract assessed shall:   Be subordinate and junior to any lien thereon for any general (ad valorem) taxes, whether prior in time or not;    Be prior and superior to any assessment lien thereon subsequently levied by the urban district or by any public body;    Be subordinate and junior to any assessment lien thereon theretofore levied by the urban district or by any public body; and    Be prior and superior to all liens, claims, mortgages, other encumbrances, and titles other than the liens of assessments and general taxes.       All purchasers, mortgagees, or encumbrancers of any such tract shall hold the same subject to such lien so created, whether prior in time or not.    Each such assessment lien shall continue as to unpaid installments, principal, interest, and any penalties and costs until such assessments, the principal thereof, interest thereon, and any penalties and costs pertaining thereto shall be fully paid, unless terminated by the foreclosure of any prior and superior lien on the tract assessed.    But unmatured installments shall not be deemed to be within the terms of any general covenant or warranty.    No statute of limitations shall begin to run against any assessment or the assessment lien to secure its payment until after the last installment of principal thereof becomes due.    The urban district may use any available funds or moneys for the satisfaction of any lien prior in right to any special assessment lien created by the district.    In the resale of any property to which the urban district has so acquired title, the district shall use its best efforts to sell the property for an amount at least equal to the funds or moneys so used plus the amount necessary to satisfy the special assessment lien created by the district, including principal, interest, penalties, and collection costs.    The moneys received from such a resale in payment for the property shall be used first to satisfy such special assessment lien and thereafter to restore to the fund from which any such prior lien was satisfied and the moneys used therefor.    The urban district is authorized to acquire and to dispose of property on which there are delinquent taxes or assessments, or both.     History. Source: L. 69: P. 802, § 158.

  If any tract is divided after an assessment thereon has been levied and divided into installments and before the collection of all the installments, the board may require the county assessor to apportion the uncollected amounts upon the several parts of land so divided according to the proportions thereof based upon their valuation for assessment for taxes.    The report of such apportionment, when approved, shall be conclusive on all the parties, and all assessments thereafter made upon such tracts shall be according to such subdivision.     History.

  If any assessment proves insufficient to pay for the project or the work for which it is levied and the expense incident thereto, the amount of such deficiency shall be paid from the capital improvements fund of the urban district or from such other account in which moneys are accounted for which may be made available for such purpose by the board.    If sufficient moneys are not legally available so as to defray the amount of such deficiency as the respective obligations comprising the cost of the project become due, the urban district shall budget, appropriate, and levy taxes therefor, subject to the limitation pertaining to capital improvements in section 32-11-217 (1)(d).    If a greater amount of assessments has been collected than was necessary to defray the cost of the project of any improvement district to which the assessments pertain, the excess shall be transferred to the special surplus and deficiency fund of the urban district as provided in section 32-11-628.
