No suit shall be sustained to set aside any assessment, nor to
contest the area of assessment, nor to enjoin the municipal
governing body from levying or collecting any such assessment, or
installment thereof, or interest or penalty thereon, or issuing the
bonds, or providing for their payment, or contesting the validity
thereof on any ground, unless such suit shall be commenced not more

than fifteen (15) days after the publication of the ordinance
levying assessments.  After the fifteen-day period has expired, or
after the work has been completed and accepted by the municipality,
a suit may be brought only for the failure to adopt and publish the
resolution declaring the necessity for the improvement, as provided
in Sections 37-211 and 37-212 of this title, or for the failure to
give notice of the hearing interest or penalty thereon, or issuing
the bonds, or providing for their payment, or contesting the
validity thereof on any ground, unless such suit shall be commenced
not more than fifteen (15) days after the publication of the
ordinance levying assessments.  After the fifteen-day period has
expired, or after the work has been completed and accepted by the
municipality, a suit may be brought only for the failure to adopt
and publish the resolution declaring the necessity for the
improvement, as provided in Sections 37-211 and 37-212 of this
title, or for the failure to give notice of the hearing on the
assessment roll, as provided in Section 37-220 of this title. In the
event any special assessment shall be found to be invalid or
insufficient, in whole or in part, for any reason whatever, the
governing body at any time, in the manner provided for levying an
original assessment, may proceed to cause a new assessment to be
made and levied which shall have like force and effect as an
original assessment.
