51892.5
. If no application for reapportionment is received under
Section 51890, the district secretary may, upon learning that a
parcel upon which an assessment has been levied has been divided or
subdivided, reapportion the assessment against that parcel among each
of the smaller parcels in proportion to the relative acreage
contained in each parcel. The secretary shall give to each owner of
the smaller parcels written notice of the reapportionment so
determined, advising that the reapportionment will become final
unless the owners, or any of them, within 10 days of the mailing of
the notice, file with the secretary a written request for a hearing
before the board to determine the manner in which the assessment
shall be reapportioned. If no request is received, the
reapportionment shall become final upon adoption by the board. If a
request is received, the secretary shall give to the owner of each of
the smaller parcels written notice not less than 10 days prior
thereto that a hearing will be held by the board to determine the
reapportionment. The determination of the board at the hearing shall
be final unless, within 10 days thereafter, an objection is filed in
writing with the secretary, in which event the board shall file its
order of reapportionment with the clerk of the board of supervisors,
and the reapportionment shall be approved by the board of supervisors
in the manner provided in Article 1 (commencing with Section 51230)
of Chapter 2.
