Wyoming § 41-8-119

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 41: Water
• Ch. 8: WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS

Text

(a) Any owner of land or person having an interest therein
upon which an assessment is proposed to be levied may, within
thirty (30) days from such order or resolution of the board of
directors accepting the report of the appraisers, file with the
clerk of the district court a written notice making demand for
trial by the court. The notice shall state definitely from what
part of such order or resolution the appeal is taken and shall
set forth any other objections of the appellant. In case more
than one (1) appeal is taken, the court may, upon finding that
the appeals may be consolidated without injury to the interests
of anyone, consolidate and try the appeals together. Any hearing
on appeal provided for herein in the district court shall be de
novo, and the district court shall consider not only the
question of procedure but also the merits of the point or points
appealed from, including but not limited to eminent domain
proceedings. Any appeal from a decision of the district court
shall follow the usual rules of civil procedure.
(b) If no appeal is taken within the time prescribed in
this section from such order or resolution of the board of
directors accepting the report of the appraisers, or after the
finding of the court in case an appeal is taken from such order
or resolution of the board of directors, then such assessments
shall be final and conclusive and shall constitute perpetual
liens upon the land so assessed until they are fully paid.
