Text

Any owner of land in a secondary road assessment district may appeal to the district court

real estate, by filing with the county engineer within fifteen days of the date of the levy, a
bond conditioned to pay all costs in case the appeal is not sustained, and a written notice of
appeal where the owner shall, with particularity, point out the specific objection which the
owner desires to lodge against the levy. The appeal has precedence over all other business
