Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  After the completion of the work and after the cost of the
same has been ascertained, the engineer shall prepare and file with
the municipal clerk a final, complete and accurate statement of the
cost of the entire improvement, including engineering, advertising,
legal, right-of-way, easements and other expenses incurred by the
municipality incident to the improvement, together with any and all
additions to the contract price of the improvements.  The governing
body shall adopt and confirm the final statement of cost, if found
to be correct.
B.  The engineer or municipal clerk shall thereupon prepare and
file an assessment roll, which shall contain among other things:
1.  The names of the last-known owners of the property to be
assessed, as shown by the current year's tax rolls in the county
treasurer's office, or as shown by certificate of a bonded
abstractor; or in case the name of the owner is not known, a
statement to that effect;
2.  A description of each tract or parcel of land to be
assessed; and
3.  The amount of the assessment of each tract or parcel of
land.
The amount assessed to each tract or parcel of land shall be on an
area basis, in proportion to the area of the whole district,
exclusive of public highways.  All property within two hundred (200)
feet of the improvements shall be deemed to be abutting thereon for
the purposes of protest and assessment, to the extent that such
property is within the limits of the assessment plat.  If a
fractional part of a lot, parcel, or tract of land is within an
assessment area, the benefit shall be computed for the fractional
part, but the entire lot, parcel or tract of land under the same

ownership of which the fractional part is a part shall be subject to
assessment for the benefit.
