Final Assessment.

   Section 83.   Whenever the board of revision of assessments shall have made its final report to the council as to any improvement, the council, if it determines that the improvement shall proceed shall pass an ordinance levying the assessment as reported by the board of revision of assessments and directing that the improvement proceed.

   In such ordinance it shall be sufficient to describe the lots and lands abutting upon the improvement and to be assessed therefor, as all the lots and lands bounding and abutting upon such improvement between and including the termini of the improvement; and in describing lands which do not abut it shall be sufficient to describe the lots by their appropriate lot numbers, and the lands by metes and bounds; and this rule of description shall apply in all proceedings in which lots and lands are to be charged with special assessments.

   Special assessments shall be payable by the owners of the property assessed at the time stipulated in the ordinance, and shall be a lien from the date of the assessment upon the respective lots and parcels of land assessed enforceable in the manner provided by general law.
