85-8-612. Lien of assessments -- payment of assessments against state lands. (1) From the time of the entry of an order under 85-8-611, assessments for construction of new work and additional assessments and interest on the assessments are a lien upon the lands assessed until paid. An owner of land or a corporation assessed for construction may, at any time within 30 days after the confirmation of the report, pay into court the amount of the assessment against the person's land or any tract of land or against the corporation. Payment relieves the lands from the lien of the assessment and the corporation from all liability on the assessment.
(2) Upon presentation to the state treasurer of an order of the district court having jurisdiction of the drainage district, properly certified, the department of administration shall draw a warrant on the treasury on the appropriate fund in favor of the commissioners of the drainage district for the total amount that may be assessed against any state lands included in the district. Upon payment of the warrant, the lands are relieved from the lien created for the costs of construction.
