§ 11-83-1

In addition to all other means or methods authorized by law for the repair, maintenance, resurfacing, or reconstruction of street pavements, any municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the resurfacing of streets paved by macadam, brick, granite, blocks, asphalt, cement, or other type of pavement, when that pavement becomes disintegrated at the surface or by reason of wear, usage, or lapse of time becomes otherwise inadequate, defective, or imperfect. The municipality, by that ordinance, may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the cost of the resurfacing of those streets (1) by special taxation of the lots or parcels of land fronting upon those streets, or (2) by special assessment upon the property benefited by the improvement of those streets through the resurfacing, or (3) by apportioning the cost of the resurfacing so that part of the cost will be paid by special assessment upon the property benefited and part of it by appropriation from the fund accumulated through the vehicle tax levied in accordance with the statute for purposes of street and alley improvement or repair.
