§ 5-19 — Annual maintenance assessments-Establishment

Whenever the commissioners have been authorized by the court to levy or to increase an annual maintenance assessment, and no annual maintenance assessment roll was filed with the petition of the commissioners for such authorization, then the commissioners shall prepare and file their annual maintenance assessment roll with the clerk of the court and notice thereof shall be given as hereinbefore specified for original assessments. The form and contents of annual maintenance assessment rolls and the proceedings thereon shall follow, as nearly as the facts will permit, the form, contents and the procedure hereinbefore specified for original assessments. Certified copies of the assessment roll, or portions thereof, shall be prepared, delivered and recorded in the manner prescribed by Section 5-14. When an annual maintenance assessment roll, or the verdict of the jury thereon, has been confirmed, the clerk shall, except in the case of those districts which have appointed as their collectors persons other than the county collector, make a certified copy thereof and deliver the same to the county clerk; provided, however, if the district is situated in more than one county, then, in that case, the clerk shall make separate certified copies of those portions of the roll or verdict which pertain to lands situated in each of the counties, and deliver the same to the county clerks of such respective counties. When confirmed, the annual maintenance assessment roll or the verdict of the jury thereon shall continue as an annual charge against the lands and other property included therein until increased, reduced, appealed or otherwise changed or a new annual maintenance assessment levied in lieu thereof, as provided in this Act.
