For facilities designed to serve the construction subdistrict the district may, pursuant to KRS § 220.555, adopt a method of assessment of benefited property on the basis of acreage or any other equitable basis set forth in the order and notify property owners affected by one (1) publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county of the costs apportioned and the amounts assessed and levied on the various tracts of land liable for the payment. From that date the assessment shall constitute a lien against the property. The landowner may pay the assessment in full at any time within thirty (30) days after notice of assessment; provided, however, that if assessments are levied in accordance with KRS § 107.010 to KRS § 107.220 the assessment cannot be paid in full within thirty (30) days. Every property owner not paying the full amount of his assessment within thirty (30) days shall be presumed to have consented to the issuing of sewer or drainage construction bonds. Liens may be recorded in any manner that any other statutory lien can be recorded.

Terms Used In Kentucky Statutes 220.571

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • Owner: when applied to any animal, means any person having a property interest in such animal. See Kentucky Statutes 446.010
