Assessment resolution - Liens.
Assessments in conformity to the appraisement and apportionment,
as corrected and confirmed by the board of county commissioners,
shall be payable in ten equal annual installments.  The assessments
shall bear interest at the rate of not more than thirteen percent
(13%) per annum until paid, payable in each year at such time as the
installments are made payable.  The board of county commissioners of
said county shall levy assessments by resolution in accordance with
said appraisement and apportionment, as confirmed, against the
record title holders of lots and tracts of land liable for said
assessments.  The resolution shall provide that the record title
holders of the assessed property shall have the privilege of paying
the amounts of their respective assessments without interest within
thirty (30) days from the date of the publication of such
resolution.  The special assessments and each installment of such
assessments and the interest on such assessments are hereby declared
to be a lien against the lots and tracts of land assessed from the
date of the publication of the resolution levying the same.  Said
lien shall be coequal with the lien of other taxes and prior and
superior to all other liens against such lots or tracts of land.

The lien shall continue for unpaid installments and interest until
such assessments and interest thereon shall be fully paid.
Unmatured installments shall not be deemed to be within the terms of
any general covenant of warranty.
