When the board proposes to make any special assessment under this chapter, the board or
its agent, before the hearing or the mailing of written notice required under section 61-24.8-13,

shall inspect any and all lots and parcels of land that may be subject to assessment and shall
determine from the inspection the particular lots and parcels of lands which, in the opinion of the
board, will be directly benefited by the construction of the work for which the assessment is
made and shall assess the proportion of the total cost of acquiring right of way and constructing
and maintaining such improvement in accordance with direct benefits received but not
exceeding such benefits against any lot, piece, or parcel of land that is directly benefited by the
improvement. Property belonging to the United States is exempt from assessment unless the
United States has provided for the payment of any assessment that may be levied against its
property for benefits received. There must be attached to the list of assessments a certificate
signed by the chairman and certified by the secretary that it is a true and correct assessment of
the benefit described to the best of their judgment and stating the several items of expense
included in the assessment.
