Article 2. Advance Payment Of Assessments of California Water Code >> Division 14. >> Part 8. >> Chapter 7. >> Article 2.

At any time before direct assessment warrants are issued, the amount of any assessment on any land, exclusive of interest and the 10 percent added for anticipated delinquencies, may be paid in money.

Land on which the amount of the assessment has been paid pursuant to Section 45920 shall not be subject to the annual installments of the assessments levied for the purposes of the project or contract, but it shall be and remain liable for any assessments levied for operation and for any supplemental or additional assessments levied.

Any landowner who desires at any time to lessen or remove the lien upon his land of any direct assessment may deliver to the district treasurer for cancellation warrants payable out of the assessment.

The board may require warrants delivered to lessen or remove an assessment lien to be substantially of the average maturities of the issue of warrants.

The treasurer shall notify the board of the amount of the principal and interest due and to become due on the warrants delivered for cancellation. The board shall thereupon cause the proper cancellation and proper record and credit to be made against the assessment on the land of the person delivering the warrants.
