21-41-15 - Determination of final assessments.

§ 21-41-15. Determination of final assessments.
 

Assessments shall be made and apportioned in the manner fixed by the resolution of the governing authorities determining to proceed with the improvement. The owner of any property assessed for an improvement, or any party having an interest therein, may appear at the time and place fixed for the hearing and determining of any objections or defense, and object to the proposed assessment against the property or to the amount thereof. The governing authorities of the municipality shall hear and determine all objections and protests to the proposed assessment, under such reasonable rules and regulations as they may adopt. At such meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the governing authorities may alter, change or correct any assessment; however, no assessment shall be increased without notice to the owner of the property. The governing authorities shall, by resolution, approve and confirm all assessments as finally fixed and adjusted at the said hearing, and said assessments shall, from the date of such confirmation, constitute a lien upon the respective lots or parcels of lands and other real property upon which they are levied, superior to all other liens except those for state and county taxes. All persons who fail to object to the proposed assessments, in the manner herein provided shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the same. Any property owner aggrieved by the decision of the governing authorities may appeal to the circuit court.
