Notwithstanding any other provisions of this division, the legislative body may, by ordinance, provide that all payments made upon any assessment and warrant within 30 days from the recordation thereof, shall be made to the superintendent of streets, who shall mail a statement to each owner of real property within the assessment district whose name appears on the last equalized assessment roll, at the address appearing on said roll or on file in the office of the clerk, or to both such addresses, if they are not the same. The statement shall contain a designation of the property assessed by street number, or some other description sufficient to enable the property owner to identify the property, statement of the amount of the assessment, and the time and place of payment, the effect of failure to pay within such time and that, if bonds are to be issued, a statement of that fact, designating the provisions of law pursuant to which such bonds are to be issued.
The legislative body may further provide by said ordinance that the superintendent of streets shall receive partial payments upon any assessment and that notice thereof be given to property owners by the statement.
