. (a) The legislative body collecting assessment installments
to secure bonds issued pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915
(Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500) of the Streets and
Highways Code) shall designate an office, department, or bureau of
the local agency that shall be responsible for annually preparing the
current tax roll of assessment installment obligations by assessor's
parcel number on property within the assessment district. The
designated office, department, or bureau shall be the same office,
department, or bureau that prepares the "NOTICE OF SPECIAL TAX"
required by Section 53340.2. If notice is required under both this
section and Section 53340.2, the notices shall, to the extent
feasible, be combined into a single notice document. The designated
office, department, or bureau shall establish procedures to promptly
respond to inquiries concerning installments on the current tax roll.
Neither the designated office, department, or bureau, nor the
legislative body, shall be liable if any estimate of assessment
installments on the current tax roll is inaccurate, nor for any
failure of any seller to request a Notice of Special Assessment or to
provide the notice to a buyer.
(b) For purposes of enabling sellers of real property subject to
the levy of assessments to satisfy the notice requirements of
subdivision (b) of Section 1102.6 of the Civil Code, the designated
office, department, or bureau shall furnish a Notice of Assessment to
any individual requesting the notice or any owner of property
subject to an assessment levied by the local agency within five
working days of receiving a request for such notice. The local agency
may charge a reasonable fee for this service not to exceed ten
dollars ($10).
(c) The notice shall contain the heading "NOTICE OF SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT" in type no smaller than 8-point type, and shall be in
substantially the following form. The form may be modified as needed
to clearly and accurately present the required information or to
consolidate information about two or more assessment districts that
collect installments of assessments with respect to the lot, parcel,
or unit. The notice shall be completed by the designated office,
department, or bureau except for the signatures and date of signing:
