Prior to September 1 of each year, the city shall, by certified or registered mail, notify any persons on the compulsory residential list and the owners of properties as shall be occupied by those persons, of any delinquency that exists with respect to charges, which are billed by the city under § 96.20 for services rendered to the properties. Thereafter, in default of payment of the delinquency, the city shall levy an assessment equal to the unpaid costs against each lot or parcel of land so served for which the service charge remains unpaid. The assessment shall be certified to the County Auditor and shall be collected and remitted to the City Treasurer in the same manner as assessments for local improvements, all in accordance with M.S. § 443.015, as it may be amended from time to time.
