SECTION 46200-46210

46200. The commissioners shall prepare and certify assessment rolls
which shall contain:
(a) A description of each tract held in separate ownership by
legal subdivisions, governmental surveys, or other boundaries
sufficient to identify it. If any area composed of more than one
tract held in separate ownership is not assessed because the land
therein will not be benefited by the expenditure of the funds to be
raised by the assessment, a description of the area as a whole
without a description of each tract shall be sufficient.
(b) The number of acres in each tract.
(c) The name and address of the owner of each tract, if known, and
if unknown, that fact. No mistake or error in the name of the owner
or supposed owner of the property assessed, and no mistake in any
other particular, shall render the assessment invalid.
(d) The rate per acre of the assessment upon each tract assessed,
or if no assessment is made upon any tract or area composed of more
than one tract, a statement of that fact.
(e) The rate per acre of the assessment upon each tract assessed
for the costs of the properties that are necessary to be used in
connection with the generating of electric power, or if no assessment
of the costs is made upon any tract or area composed of more than
one tract, a statement of that fact.
(f) The total amount of the assessment as computed.
(g) Any other statement which may be required by the board at the
time of transmitting the plans and specifications and costs of the
work for the district.

46201. The roll shall be separately made for each affected county.

46202. When completed, the rolls shall be accompanied by the
written report of the commissioners setting out with particularity
all the following:
(a) The exact nature and quantum of the benefits assessed,
apportioned, and allocated to each tract of land in the district, in
respect to:
(1) The right in and to stored surplus waters, and
(2) The right to store water in the reservoirs of the district,
and
(3) Any drainage or reclamation work connected with the tract, and
(4) A statement, if such be the case, that the costs are
apportioned in accordance with a stipulation or agreement of
landowners as provided for by Section 46179.
(b) The portion of the assessment, if any, attributable to the
cost of the properties which are necessary to be used in connection
with the generation of electric power.

46203. In the report of the commissioners, land embraced within a
comprehensive area or a political subdivision of the State may be
referred to generally as land lying within the area or subdivision
without further description.

46205. The commissioners shall transmit two copies of the rolls to
the board. The board shall file one copy in its records and transmit
to the county treasurer of each affected county that portion of the
roll relating to land within the county.

46206. The board shall forthwith give notice of the filing of the
assessment roll by publication at least once a week for two
successive weeks in each affected county, and shall state therein the
time within which objections to the roll may be filed with the
board, which shall be not less than 20 days after the completion of
publication.

46207. The objections to any assesment shall be in writing,
verified, and filed with the secretary of the board, and shall set
forth the grounds of the objection.

46208. The verification shall be made by the affidavit of the
objector or some other person familiar with the facts.

46209. If no objections are filed with respect to a particular
assessment roll, as provided in Sections 46206 and 46207, then upon
the expiration of the time fixed by the board for the filing of
objections the secretary of the board shall execute certificates in
which he or she shall certify to the fact that no objections were so
filed. The secretary of the board shall file one copy of the
certificates with the county treasurer of each county in which lands
appear on the assessment roll.

46210. Upon filing of the certificates of the secretary of the
board as provided in Section 46209, the assessment roll and the
assessments therein made shall be final and conclusive, and no action
or defense shall ever be maintained attacking them in any respect,
and the assessment roll shall be conclusive evidence before any court
or tribunal that the assessment has been made and levied according
to law.
