§ 19-69. Assessment roll and notice.  


Latest version.
  • Upon the completion of any improvement hereunder, the city council shall cause to be prepared a roll or list to be called the "assessment list," showing the improvement number, the number of the assessment lien, a description of each lot or parcel of land proposed to be assessed, and the amount to be assessed against each lot or parcel of land, and the name of each owner as shown on the city tax roll or records. Such lists shall be a public record constituting notice to the public of the lien against the land so assessed and no other record or notice thereof shall be necessary to any person or corporation for that purpose. No errors, omissions, or mistakes in regard to description of property shall be held to invalidate any assessment appearing upon such assessment list, where the description given is sufficient to identify the property. After the completion of said assessment list, same shall be delivered to the city clerk of the City of Lauderhill, who shall thereupon give notice by publication once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in a published newspaper circulated within said municipality, that the assessment list has been delivered to the city clerk of the City of Lauderhill, and that same is open for inspection at the office of the city clerk and that at a time and place therein mentioned, not less than fifteen (15) days from the first publication, the city council will meet to hear and determine any objections or defenses that may be filed to such assessment or the amount thereof. Said notice shall state the number of the improvement, the general character of the work which has been performed, the name by which such improvement is generally known, and the location in which such improvement has been constructed. Instead of publishing in the newspaper as aforesaid, the city council may authorize the notice to be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the property owners directly affected, if the council determines that it would be less expensive and the property owner would be as well advised by mail as by publication.
