When a sidewalk or sidewalks has or have been constructed or
reconstructed and where special assessments must be levied for the expense
thereof, the governing body shall, as soon as the cost is ascertained, levy
an assessment against the lot or piece of land chargeable therefor, by
ordinance, and the property owner shall have thirty days after the
publication of the ordinance within which to make full payment of the
assessment. The city clerk shall mail a notice not less than fifteen days
prior to the end of the thirty days to the owner of the property as shown
on the records of the office of the register of deeds, but failure of the
owner to receive the notice shall not affect the validity of the
assessment. Any suit challenging the validity of the proceedings or the
amount of the assessment must be filed within thirty days after the
publication of the assessment ordinance.
