§ 17-348. Effect of subdividing assessed property.  


Latest version.
  • The lien, both for the special assessment and for all related annual installments, shall survive any subdivision of the assessed property, and the special assessment shall remain the joint and severable liability of each lot, tract and parcel shown on the resulting plat, except for property dedicated to a governmental body. However, the resolution or any later amendment thereto may provide for prorating the special assessment and the lien by specifying the basis upon which the proration shall occur (for example, by front foot, square foot, assessed benefits, etc.), provided that such proration shall be according to the special benefits to be received by each lot, tract and parcel as determined by the board of county commissioners. Thereafter each lot, parcel and tract will be liable only for the prorated assessment, with only those lots, parcels or tracts as to which the prorated assessment is in default being subject to the delinquency provisions of section 17-346. Alternatively, the board of county commissioners at its option may require payment in full of the assessment and all related annual installments as a condition to approval of any plat.
