74.190 Collection of unpaid installments -- Sale of land -- Redemption -- Settlement with collecting officers -- Fees. (1) Upon the first Monday after an installment is due, the commission shall meet and ascertain the parties whose installments are in default and shall within sixty (60)
days issue warrants directing the sheriff or other collecting officer to collect the
installments that are in default. The collecting officer shall collect the installments,
with interest due on them and deferred installments, together with a penalty of six
percent (6%), in the same way state and county taxes are collected, and the
collecting officer shall settle with the commission within sixty (60) days from the
time the installments were certified to him. (2) All lands upon which the installments have not been collected at the end of sixty (60) days shall be advertised and sold by the collecting officer in the same manner
as in the case of state and county taxes. The sale so made shall be subject to the
future installments of the assessments, and at the expiration of ninety (90) days
from the date of the original certification of the installments to the collecting
officer, the collecting officer shall make final settlement with the commission and
pay to them all the moneys in his hands. If the collecting officer fails to make a
settlement, the commission may compel him to make the settlement by order
against him issued by the district court, after giving him five (5) days' notice in
writing. In case any land is not purchased at the sale, the collecting officer shall bid
in the land for the district and in his final settlement with the commission shall take
credit therefor. The collecting officer shall certify each of the sales to the county
clerk as required in the sale of lands for state and county taxes, and the clerk shall
record each sale in a book kept by him. For collecting the assessments certified to
him the collecting officer shall be paid by the water commission the same fees
allowed him for collecting state and county taxes and in the same manner. For
recording the certificate of sale the clerk shall be allowed and paid the same fees
allowed him by law for similar work in reference to state and county taxes. (3) The owner of such real estate, or his representatives, heirs or assigns, shall have the right to redeem the land from the sale as is provided for the redemption of lands
sold for state and county taxes, but only upon the same terms and conditions and
within the same time as allowed in such case. Effective: June 17, 1978
