40:56-62 Assessments and awards certified to Superior Court; confirmation of report.
40:56-62. Upon the making of any assessments for benefits and awards for incidental damages, the officer or board charged with the duty of making the same, shall apply to the Superior Court for confirmation. The application shall be accompanied by a report in writing signed by said officer or, if made by a board, by at least a majority of their number, and also accompanied by a map showing the real estate taken, damaged or benefited by the improvement, and for which damages or benefits have been assessed.
The court shall either confirm the report, or refer it to the officer or board for revision or correction, and the officer or board shall return to the court the same corrected and revised, or a new report, without unnecessary delay. On being returned it shall be confirmed or again referred by the court in manner aforesaid, as right and justice shall require and so, from time to time, until report shall be made or returned which the court shall confirm. The same report, when so confirmed, shall be final and conclusive, upon the city of the first class and upon the owners of the real estate affected thereby. The court shall thereupon cause a certified copy of the final report and the order or judgment confirming it, to be transmitted to and filed with the tax collecting officer of the city.
The confirmation procedure set forth in this section shall not affect the validity and commencement of a lien against land that has been assessed for benefits, but shall be considered to affect only the amount of the lien.
