Public hearing, procedure--apportionment of costs--special assessments, notice--payment and collection of assessments.

67.463. 1. At the hearing to consider the proposed improvements and

assessments, the governing body shall hear and pass upon all objections to

the proposed improvements and proposed assessments, if any, and may amend

the proposed improvements, and the plans and specifications therefor, or

assessments as to any property, and thereupon by ordinance or resolution

the governing body of the city or county shall order that the improvement

be made and direct that financing for the cost thereof be obtained as

provided in sections 67.453 to 67.475.



2. After construction of the improvement has been completed in

accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, the governing body

shall compute the final costs of the improvement and apportion the costs

among the property benefitted by such improvement in such equitable manner

as the governing body shall determine, charging each parcel of property

with its proportionate share of the costs, and by resolution or ordinance,

assess the final cost of the improvement or the amount of general

obligation bonds issued or to be issued therefor as special assessments

against the property described in the assessment roll.



3. After the passage or adoption of the ordinance or resolution

assessing the special assessments, the city clerk or county clerk shall

mail a notice to each property owner within the district which sets forth a

description of each parcel of real property to be assessed which is owned

by such owner, the special assessment assigned to such property, and a

statement that the property owner may pay such assessment in full, together

with interest accrued thereon from the effective date of such ordinance or

resolution, on or before a specified date determined by the effective date

of the ordinance or resolution, or may pay such assessment in annual

installments as provided in subsection 4 of this section.



4. The special assessments shall be assessed upon the property

included therein concurrent with general property taxes, and shall be

payable in substantially equal annual installments for a duration stated in

the ballot measure prescribed in subsection 2 of section 67.457 or in the

petition prescribed in subsection 3 of section 67.457, and, if authorized,

an assessment in each year thereafter levied and collected in the same

manner with the proceeds thereof used solely for maintenance of the

improvement, taking into account such assessments and interest thereon, as

the governing body determines. The first installment shall be payable

after the first collection of general property taxes following the adoption

of the assessment ordinance or resolution unless such ordinance or

resolution was adopted and certified too late to permit its collection at

such time. All assessments shall bear interest at such rate as the

governing body determines, not to exceed the rate permitted for bonds by

section 108.170. Interest on the assessment between the effective date of

the ordinance or resolution assessing the assessment and the date the first

installment is payable shall be added to the first installment. The

interest for one year on all unpaid installments shall be added to each

subsequent installment until paid. In the case of a special assessment by

a city, all of the installments, together with the interest accrued or to

accrue thereon, may be certified by the city clerk to the county clerk in

one instrument at the same time. Such certification shall be good for all

of the installments, and the interest thereon payable as special

assessments.



5. Special assessments shall be collected and paid over to the city

treasurer or county treasurer in the same manner as taxes of the city or

county are collected and paid. In any county with a charter form of

government and with more than six hundred thousand but fewer than seven

hundred thousand inhabitants and any county of the first classification

with more than one hundred thirty-five thousand four hundred but fewer than

one hundred thirty-five thousand five hundred inhabitants, the county

collector may collect a fee as prescribed by section 52.260 for collection

of assessments under this section.
