To defray the costs and expenses of street improvements, as may be authorized by law, the governing body shall have power and authority to levy and collect special taxes and assessments upon the lots and pieces of ground adjacent to, abutting upon or especially benefiting from, the street, avenue, alley or sidewalk in whole or in part opened, widened, curbed, curbed and guttered, graded, paved, repaired, graveled, macadamized, parked, extended, constructed or otherwise improved or repaired. The governing body, sitting as the Board of Equalization, shall review all such improvements in accordance with the procedure provided by law. All special assessments shall be made by the governing body at a regular or special meeting by resolution, taking into account the benefits derived or injuries sustained in consequence of such improvements and the amount charged against same. The vote shall be recorded in the minutes. Notice of the time of holding such meeting and the purpose for which it is to be held shall be published in some legal newspaper published, or of general circulation, in the municipality at least four weeks before the same shall be held. In lieu of such aforementioned notice, personal service may be had upon the persons owning or occupying the property to be assessed. Such assessments shall be known as special assessments for improvements and with the cost of notice shall be levied and collected as a special tax in addition to the taxes for general revenue purposes, subject to the same penalties and collected in like manner as other municipal taxes and shall be certified to the County Clerk by the Municipal Clerk forthwith after the date of levy, for collection by the Treasurer of said county unless otherwise specified. After it shall become delinquent said assessment shall draw interest at the legal interest rate per annum. In the event the property owner is a nonresident of the county in which the property lies, the municipality shall, before levying any special assessment against that property, send a copy of any notice required by law to be published by means of certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the nonresident property owner. The last known address shall be that address listed on the current tax rolls at the time such required notice was first published.

Whenever the governing body deems it necessary to make any improvements allowed by statute which are to be funded by a levy of special assessment on the property especially benefited, the governing body shall by ordinance create a paving, graveling or other improvement district and, after the passage, approval and publication or posting of such ordinance, shall publish notice of the creation of any such district for six days in a legal newspaper of the municipality, if a daily newspaper, or for two consecutive weeks if it is a weekly newspaper. If no legal newspaper is published in the municipality, the publication shall be in a legal newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. If the owners of the record title representing more than 50% of the front footage of the property directly abutting on the street or alley to be improved file with the Municipal Clerk within 20 days after the first publication of such notice written objections to the creation of such district, such improvement shall not be made as provided in such ordinance, but such ordinance shall be repealed. If objections are not filed against the district in the time and manner prescribed in this section, the governing body shall immediately cause such work to be done or such improvement to be made, shall contract for the work or improvement and shall levy assessments on the lots and parcels of land abutting on or adjacent to such street or alley especially benefited in such district in proportion to such benefits to pay the cost of such improvement.
