Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Whenever all special assessments and all utility revenues and taxes, if any, appropriated 
and theretofore collected for a special improvement, made under authority of any law 
authorizing the payment of the cost thereof in whole or in part from special assessments, are 
insufficient to pay principal or interest then due on the special improvement warrants issued 
against such improvement, the governing body shall levy a tax upon all of the taxable property 
in the municipality for the payment of such deficiency. If at any time a deficiency is likely to occur 
within one year in such special improvement fund for the payment of principal and interest due 
on such warrants, the governing body, in its discretion, may levy a general tax upon all the 
taxable property in the municipality for the payment of such deficiency. This section applies to 
any deficiency in a special improvement fund, including a sewer and water connections 
assessment fund under chapter 40 -28, sidewalk special fund under chapter 40 -29, curbing 
special fund under chapter 40 -31, and boulevard special fund under chapter 40 -32. In case a 
balance remains unexpended in a special improvement fund after the payment of all warrants 
drawn thereon with interest, it shall be paid over or transferred to the general fund of the 
municipality.
