In determining benefits, the district<br>assessor shall first ascertain the number of irrigable acres [hectares] within each tract or<br>subdivision, as determined by the board of directors, and this shall form the primary basis for<br>determining the benefits accruing on account of the construction, acquisition, or operation of<br>irrigation works.In addition, the district assessor shall include such factors as methods ofirrigation, power consumption, water conservation, and whether or not irrigable acres [hectares]<br>are actually being irrigated. Thereafter, the amount of benefits so apportioned or distributed to<br>each tract of land as finally determined and equalized shall be and remain the basis for fixing the<br>annual assessments levied during that year against such tracts or subdivisions in carrying out the<br>provisions of this chapter.61-09-02.

If all lands on such statement<br>or map are assessed at the same amount or rate per acre [.40 hectare], a general statement to<br>that effect shall be sufficient. A copy of such list or map shall be filed in the office of the county<br>auditor of each county in which the district is situated, one copy shall be filed in the office of the<br>state engineer, and one copy shall remain in the office of the board for public inspection.61-09-03.Assessments spread in proportion to benefits received - Propertysubject to assessment for deficiency.

The lien thereof shall share ratably with general tax liens in all tax proceedings and tax<br>lien foreclosures and shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to general taxes. Such<br>assessment shall become due and payable and delinquent at the same time as other general<br>state and county taxes lien foreclosure and shall remain subject to all statutory provisions<br>applying to tax lien foreclosure.In case leasehold estates only are affected by saidassessments, the tax lien foreclosure notice shall state that fact. The lien for the bonds of any<br>series shall be preferred to that of any subsequent series, and the lien for the payments due to<br>the United States under any contract between the district and the United States, accompanyingPage No. 3which bonds have not been deposited with the United States, shall be a lien preferred over that of<br>any issue of bonds or any series of any issue subsequent to the date of such contract. All funds<br>arising from assessment and levy, if any, shall be devoted to the obligations of the district<br>payable from said funds and as to all obligations from the bond and United States contract a fund<br>shall be so devoted in the order of priority of the creation of the obligation. No error or omission<br>which may be made in the proceedings of the board, or of any officer of an irrigation district in<br>referring, reporting upon, ordering or otherwise acting concerning the establishment,<br>construction, or acquisition of irrigation works, or concerning the issuance of bonds or<br>improvement warrants, or in making or certifying any assessment shall vitiate or in any way affect<br>any such assessment; but if it shall appear that by reason of such error or omission substantial<br>injury has been done to the party or parties claiming to be aggrieved, the court shall alter such<br>assessment as may be just and the same shall then be enforced. Whenever the validity of any<br>assessment, or the validity of any deed given pursuant to a foreclosure of tax lien for such<br>assessment shall be drawn in question in any action in any district court in this state, and such<br>assessment shall be held to be invalid by reason of noncompliance with the laws of this state, the<br>court shall determine the true and just amount which the property attempted to be so assessed<br>by said assessment should pay, to make the same uniform with other assessments for the same<br>purpose, and the amount of such assessments as the same appears on the assessment list<br>thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of such true and just amount, and judgment must be<br>rendered and given therefor against the property liable for such assessment, without regard to<br>the proceedings had for the levy thereof, and such judgment shall be a lien upon the property<br>upon which the assessment shall have been levied, of equal force and effect as the lien of<br>irrigation district assessments, and the lien of such judgment shall be enforced by the court in<br>such action.61-09-16.Payment of assessments under protest - When refunding taxes orassessments.When any person against whose property assessments as provided in thischapter have been made shall pay the same under protest as provided by the general revenue<br>laws of this state, the board may pass upon and make orders disposing of the moneys paid<br>under protest in the same form and manner as the boards of county commissioners are<br>authorized to act in the case of general taxes, and such proceedings shall be had as provided in<br>title 57, so far as such provisions apply. No taxes or assessments shall be ordered refunded<br>unless the person complaining shall file in the office of the secretary of such district a copy of the<br>person's tax receipt, showing the same paid under protest, together with an affidavit in writing<br>showing one of the following reasons why such taxes or assessments should be refunded:1.That the land upon which such taxes or assessments were levied is not within the<br>boundaries of the district for which the lands were taxed or assessed.2.That the said lands are exempt by law, setting forth the reason therefor.3.Repealed by S.L.
