§ 32-24-2-13 — Due date of benefit assessments; foreclosure of liens; costs

(a) The benefit assessments are due and
payable to the fiscal officer or county treasurer from the time of the
preparation or delivery of the assessment duplicate.
(b) If an assessment is not paid within sixty (60) days, the
municipality, by its attorney, shall proceed to foreclose the liens as
mortgages are foreclosed, with similar rights of redemption, and have
the property sold to pay the assessments. The municipality may recover
costs, with reasonable attorney's fees, and interest from the expiration
of the sixty (60) days allowed for payment, at the rate of six percent
(6%) per year.
(c) If the person against whom the assessment is made is a resident
of the municipality, demand for payment must be made by delivering
to the person personally, or leaving at the person's last or usual place
of residence, a notice of the assessment and demand for payment.
