(a) The amount of an assessment as made or
approved and confirmed by the court is a lien upon the land assessed
from the time the assessment is approved and confirmed. The lien
follows all other improvement liens upon the affected real property in
order of priority as to date of attachment.
(b) The county surveyor charged with the construction of the work
shall keep in the county surveyor's office a complete copy of the
assessments that may, upon demand, be examined by any interested
person.
(c) An owner of land assessed for benefits who desires to transfer
the property free and clear of the lien for the assessment may deposit
with the county treasurer the full amount of the benefits assessed
against the tract or parcel of land. When the professional surveyor has
made the final computation to the county auditor, the treasurer shall
pay to the person paying the assessment the surplus, if any, over the
actual assessment. Whenever the owner of a tract or parcel of land has
paid to the treasurer and the treasurer's books show the payment, the
lien for the assessment on the tract or parcel of land is automatically
canceled.
