Current through 2024 Legislative Session

Section 61-16.1-32 - Collection of tax or assessment levied not to be enjoined or declared void - Exceptions

The collection of any tax or assessment levied or ordered to be levied to pay for the location and construction of any project under the provisions of this chapter shall not be enjoined perpetually or absolutely declared void by reason of any of the following:

1. Any error of any officer or board in the location and establishment thereof.

2. Any error or informality appearing in the record of the proceedings by which any project was established.

3. A lack of any proper conveyance or condemnation of the right of way.

The court in which any proceeding is brought to reverse or declare void the proceedings by which any project has been established, or to enjoin the tax levied to pay therefor, on application of either party, shall order examination of the premises, or survey of the same, or both, as may be deemed necessary. The court, on a final hearing, shall enter an order which is just and equitable, and may order the tax or any part thereof to remain on the tax lists for collection, or if the tax were paid under protest, may order, if justice requires, the whole or any part thereof to be refunded. The costs of such proceedings shall be apportioned among the parties as justice may require.
