§ 41-9-250 — Objections; landowners to show cause; presumption of validity of assessments

Any owner of land, or any interest in land, within a drainage
district, who claims that his land in said district is exempt
from liability for, or lien of any assessment for construction
or repairs, or any additional assessment by said commissioners
levied against the same whether said assessments be the first or
any subsequent assessment or questions the legality of such
assessment, may at any time, on ten (10) days notice, or order
to show cause, be brought before the court having jurisdiction
and required to show cause why said land should not be bound by
all drainage district assessments in any report or reports of
the commissioners of said district assessed against the same.
The presumption shall be in favor of the regularity of such
assessments, and they shall stand as valid assessments unless
the owner of such land, or some interest therein shall show that
said assessment is inequitable, or is void because the lands
were not subject to assessment in the first instance.
