Text

All assessments on
account of special improvements against appraised benefits and interest thereon
and penalties for default of payment thereof, together with the cost of collecting
the same, from the date of the filing of the construction fund assessment record
and the maintenance fund assessment record in the office of the treasurer of the
county wherein the lands and property are situate, shall constitute a perpetual lien
in an amount not in excess of the benefits severally appraised upon the land and
other property against which said assessments have been levied and such benefits
appraised, to which only the lien of the general, state, county, city, town, or school
taxes shall be paramount, but no sale of said property, to enforce any general,
state, county, city, town, school tax, or other lien, shall extinguish the perpetual lien
of said assessment. At any time any landowner may pay the full amount of said
assessment, and thereafter the property of any such landowner shall be clear and
free from said lien and shall not be subject to assessment for and on account of
benefits appraised against any other land or default in the payment of assessments
made against any other land.
