Wyoming § 37-13-128

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 37: Public Utilities
• Ch. 13: LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

Text

No special assessment shall be declared void or set aside in
consequence of any error or irregularity permitted or appearing
in any of the proceedings under this chapter, but any party
feeling aggrieved by any special assessment or proceeding may
bring a civil action to adjudicate the grievance if the action
is commenced prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after
adoption of the assessment ordinance. Every person whose
property is subject to the special assessment and who fails to
appear during the public hearings on assessments to raise his
objection to the tax shall be deemed to have waived all
objection to the assessment except the objection that the
governing body lacks jurisdiction to levy the tax, which
objection must be raised within thirty (30) days after adoption
of the assessment ordinance. Whenever any enactment authorizing
the issuance of any bonds pursuant to the improvement
contemplated is adopted, the resolution shall be published once
in a newspaper in which the original notice of hearing was
published. For twenty (20) days thereafter, any person whose
property has been assessed and any taxpayer in the district may
institute litigation for the purpose of questioning or attacking
the legality of such bonds. After the expiration of twenty (20)
days, all proceedings by the governing body, the bonds to be
issued pursuant thereto, and the special assessments from which
the bonds are to be paid, shall be final and no suit challenging
the legality thereof may be instituted in this state, and no
court shall have the authority to inquire into such matters.
