Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) Immediately after the issuance of a drainage board order levying any
assessments for costs, whether original or supplemental, the
drainage board shall record in the office of the register of deeds in
each county in which the assessed lands are situated a certified
copy of the order, including a true description of each parcel of
land in that county that was so assessed and the amount that it
was assessed.
(2) From the time of recording the order confirming such assessments for costs until they are paid, such assessments and the
interest thereon are a first lien upon the lands assessed and take
priority over all other liens or mortgages except liens for general
taxes and liens under ss. 292.31 (8) (i) and 292.81, regardless of
the priority in time of such other liens or mortgages.
(3) When any assessment which is a lien on land has been
fully paid, the board shall execute in writing a satisfaction of such
lien. Such satisfaction may be recorded in the office of the register of deeds.
