§ 21-41-35. Correction of imperfect assessments.
 

If any special assessment made pursuant to this chapter or attempted to be made in accordance with or by virtue of the authority conferred in any other law heretofore in force, to defray the whole or any part of the expense of any local improvement, shall be, either in whole or in part, annulled, vacated or set aside by the judgment of any court, or if the governing authorities of a municipality shall be satisfied that such assessment is so irregular or defective that the same cannot be enforced, or if the governing authorities shall have omitted to make such assessment when it might have done so, the governing authorities of the municipality are hereby authorized to take all steps to cause a new assessment for the whole or any part of any improvement, or against any property benefited by any improvement, following as near as may be the provisions of this chapter. In case such second assessment shall likewise be abrogated as above provided, the governing authorities may make other assessments, until a valid assessment shall be made.
