A. Authority For Collection: Pursuant to Iowa Code section 384.63, the City Council may from time to time pass resolutions providing for the collection of deficiencies for lots specifically benefited by a public improvement.
B. Administration By Chief Building Official: The City Clerk shall provide a listing of all deficiency assessments to the chief building official. The chief building official shall notify the City Clerk and the City Council when a private improvement is subsequently constructed on any lot subject to a deficiency, including the cost thereof.
C. Amortization Period, Lien On Property; Appeal:
1. Amortization Period: The amortization period shall commence with the adoption of the resolution of necessity and extend for the same period for which installments of assessments for the project are made payable. When a private improvement is constructed on a lot subject to a deficiency during the period of amortization, the Council shall, by resolution, assess a pro rata portion of the deficiency on that lot, in the same proportion to the total deficiency on that lot as the number of future installments of special assessments remaining to be paid is to the total number of installments of assessments for the project, subject to the twenty five percent (25%) limitation of Iowa Code section 384.62.
2. Lien On Property: A deficiency assessment becomes a lien on the property and is payable in the same manner and subject to the same interest and penalties as other special assessments.
3. Appeal: The City Clerk shall be directed by the City Council to certify the deficiency assessment to the County Auditor and send a notice of the deficiency assessment by certified mail to each affected owner. An owner may appeal to the City Council from the amount of the assessment within thirty (30) days of the date the notice is mailed.
