Sec. 96. (a) Bonds issued to finance the construction or reconstruction of a drain are not the general obligation of the county, the board, or any person. The bonds are a lien only upon the land assessed for benefits for the construction or reconstruction in the ratio of the assessment.

     (b) If bonds issued under this chapter become in default, the officers responsible for the collection of delinquent taxes shall take the steps provided by law to collect all delinquencies, and for that purpose the officers shall cooperate with any bond holder or committee of bond holders and shall pursue any remedies available for the collection of the delinquent assessments.
