Section 5503 Of Chapter 19. Reassessments From California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 7. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 19.
5503
. The superintendent of streets shall, upon the entering of a
decree of court directing a reassessment or upon the making of an
order by the legislative body directing a reassessment, proceed to
make a reassessment in the following manner:
(a) If the reassessment is a partial one only, then it shall not
be necessary for the diagram to show any other lots than the ones
covered by such partial reassessment.
(b) If it is a full reassessment, the superintendent of streets
shall prepare and file with the reassessment a diagram showing the
lots or parcels of land deemed by him to have been benefited by the
work. The reassessment shall assess upon and against each of the lots
or parcels of land contained therein an amount arrived at as
follows:
The benefits derived, or to be derived, by each of the lots or
parcels of land from the work estimated as of the date of the filing
in the clerk's office of the original assessment shall first be
listed. Then there shall be added thereto interest thereon from 30
days after the date of such filing of the original assessment at the
rate of 7 percent per annum, and the total sum shall constitute and
be the amount of the proposed several assessments in such
reassessment. The total of such reassessment, however, exclusive of
interest, shall not exceed the cost and expenses of the work.
In the event such reassessment is not confirmed within seven
months of the date of filing in the clerk's office of the original
assessment, the legislative body shall pay from its general funds the
7 percent interest added to the cost and expenses of the work in
accordance with this section, plus the incidental expenses of such
reassessment in the event that a reassessment is made.
