Chapter 6. Protest And Hearing of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 11. >> Chapter 6.

Any person interested in any of the property to be reassessed may file a written protest against the amount reassessed against his or any other property, as shown in the statement, at any time prior to the time fixed for hearing on the refunding and assessment. The protest shall specifically set forth the nature thereof. Failure to file such written protest shall be a waiver of any right which such person may have or claim.

Any person who files such a protest shall have full opportunity to be heard thereon.

At the time and place fixed for hearing, the legislative body shall hear any complaints or objections that may be made concerning the amount of unpaid assessments, or the amounts of proposed reassessments as to any of the parcels of land to be reassessed.

At the hearing no objections to the regularity of the proceedings with reference to the making of the improvement or the validity or the amount of any assessment levied in the original proceedings shall be considered. All other objections to any reassessment shall be deemed waived unless presented at the time and in the manner specified in this chapter.

The determination of the legislative body upon all objections or protests shall be final and conclusive.

The hearing may be continued from time to time by order entered in the minutes, but must be concluded within 30 days from the date orginally fixed.

At the hearing the legislative body may review and correct the amount of any reassessments upon any parcel of land, but shall not assess against any parcel of land a greater amount than the total unpaid assessment, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

At the conclusion of the hearing the reassessment as originally made or as reviewed and corrected shall be confirmed by resolution entered upon the minutes.

The resolution of confirmation shall designate by reassessment number or other appropriate designation or description the parcels of land in the statement on file with the clerk upon which the reassessments are confirmed and levied.
