Section 14-1434. Assessments from year to year to pay bond maturities  


Latest version.
  • Where
      a  sewerage  system  to  serve  part  of a village has been financed and
      constructed  pursuant  to  a  resolution  of  its  board   of   trustees
      authorizing  such  improvement at the joint expense of such village, the
      United States of America and the lands  benefited  and  determining  the
      portion  of  such  expense  to  be  borne  by such lands, and where such
      village has issued bonds maturing in annual installments over  a  period
      of fifteen or more years to pay such portion, and such board has adopted
      a  resolution  that  the  respective  amounts  of  such installments and
      interest be assessed from year to year upon  such  lands,  such  amounts
      shall  be  so assessed and no part of such expense shall otherwise be or
      become a lien upon any such lands.   Such board shall  annually  compute
      the  amount  necessary  to  pay  such  principal and interest due and to
      become due during the fiscal year and apportion and assess the same upon
      such lands in proportion as nearly as may be to the benefit  which  each
      parcel  thereof  will  derive  from  the  construction  of such sewerage
      system. After making such apportionment such board shall give notice  of
      the  completion thereof and that at a specified time and place a hearing
      will be held to consider and review the same. Such board shall  meet  at
      the   time   and   place  so  specified  and  hear  objections  to  such
      apportionment and modify, correct and file the same in the office of the
      village clerk whereupon the same shall be deemed  final  and  conclusive
      unless,  within  fifteen  days, an appeal is taken therefrom. Such board
      may cause any amount so assessed upon any such parcel to be collected in
      the manner provided by law for the collection of assessments  for  local
      improvement  or cause the same to be included in an annual tax levy upon
      such parcel. An assessment heretofore made as provided herein  shall  be
      deemed valid for all purposes.
        Where lateral sewers are constructed at the expense of the village and
      property  benefited,  as  an addition to the sewerage system constructed
      with federal aid, special assessments may be levied  for  such  laterals
      from  year  to  year  and  the  cost  thereof apportioned as though said
      laterals  had  constituted  a  part  of  the  original  sewerage  system
      constructed with federal aid. Nothing contained in this section shall be
      construed to prevent the financing of such expense, in whole or in part,
      pursuant to the local finance law.
