468.41 Assessment for lateral ditches — reclassification of benefited lands.
1. In fixing the percentages and assessments of benefits and apportionment of costs of construction to lands benefited by lateral ditches and drains as a part of the entire improvement to be made in a drainage district, the commissioners shall ascertain and fix the percentage of benefits and apportionment of costs to the lands benefited by such lateral ditches on the same basis and in the same manner as if said lateral was, with its sublaterals, being constructed as a subdistrict as provided in this subchapter, parts 1 through 5, reporting separately:
a. The percentage of benefits and amount accruing to each forty-acre tract or less on account of the construction of the main ditch, drain, or watercourse including pumping plant, if any.
b. The percentage of benefits and amount accruing to each forty-acre tract or less on account of the construction of such lateral improvement.
2. When there has been a repair or improvement to a lateral ditch or drain as provided in section 468.126 and the lands benefited by the lateral have not been classified as provided in this section, the board may order a classification of the lands and the commission shall ascertain and fix the percentage of benefits and apportionment of costs to the lands benefited by such lateral ditches or drains on the same basis and in the same manner as if the lateral was with its sublaterals being constructed as a subdistrict as provided in this subchapter, parts 1 through 5. When this procedure is followed for the classification of any lateral ditch or drain in a given district, the board shall follow the same procedure for all other lateral ditches or drains in the district which have not been classified as prescribed in this section.
