On or before the first Monday in July of each year, the association secretary shall determine the names of all owners of forest lands within the boundaries of the particular forest protective association who have failed to provide the forest fire protection for their lands required by this act, together with the description of such lands and the acreage thereof and calculate the total amount due hereunder from each such owner for such forest fire protection which shall not exceed the maximum hereinbefore specified.

By the first Monday in August of each year, the director of the department of lands shall have prepared a list of all amounts charged under this section against property protected, and upon request received from any owner thereof, shall render the latter a statement of the sum so due from such owner; upon further request made to said director of the department of lands within ten (10) days following said first Monday in August, any such owner shall be granted a hearing before the board on or before the last Monday in August.
