1. If a tract is divided after a special
assessment thereon has been levied and divided into installments and before the
collection of all the installments, the governing body may require the
treasurer to apportion the uncollected amounts upon the several parts of land
so divided.
2. If two or more tracts are combined or
combined and redivided into two or more different tracts after a special
assessment thereon has been levied and divided into installments and before the
collection of all the installments, the governing body may require the
treasurer to combine or combine and reapportion the uncollected amounts upon
the part or parts of land that exist after the combination or combination and
redivision.
3. Except to the extent limited in an
ordinance that authorizes or otherwise pertains to the issuance of bonds for an
improvement district, the governing body may reapportion assessments which have
been levied pursuant to this chapter or apportioned pursuant to this section
with the unanimous written consent of all the owners of property whose
assessments will be increased by the reapportionment. The governing body is not
required to obtain the consent of an owner of property whose assessment will
not be affected or will be decreased by the reapportionment.
4. Assessments may be combined or
reapportioned, or both, pursuant to subsections 2 and 3, only if the governing
body finds that the proposed action will not:
(a) Materially or adversely impair the obligation
of the municipality with respect to any outstanding bond secured by
assessments; or
(b) Increase the principal balance of any
assessment to an amount such that the aggregate amount which is assessed
against a tract exceeds the minimum benefit to the tract that is estimated to
result from the project which is financed by the assessment.
5. The report of an apportionment,
combination or reapportionment pursuant to this section, when approved by the
governing body, is conclusive on all the parties, and all assessments
thereafter made upon the tracts must be according to the apportionment,
combination or reapportionment so approved.
6. The report, when approved, must be
recorded in the office of the county recorder together with a statement that
the current payment status of any of the assessments may be obtained from the
county or municipal officer who has been directed by the governing body to
collect the assessment. Neither the failure to record the report as provided in
this subsection nor any defect in the report as recorded affects the validity of
the assessments, the lien for the payment thereof or the priority of that lien.
7. The governing body may by ordinance
delegate to the chief financial officer or treasurer of the municipality the
duties required of the governing body pursuant to this section in connection
with the apportionment, combination or reapportionment of assessments. If the
governing body adopts such an ordinance, the ordinance must establish
parameters for the chief financial officer or treasurer in the performance of
such duties.
