B. In each year after the formation of a parking district, the governing body shall meet to determine the amount of special assessments which, together with other available funds, will be required to pay the annual interest on outstanding bonds of the district and the principal thereof as the same may mature or be required to be paid. Thereafter, the board of appraisers shall make out an annual special assessment roll, entering and describing therein all of the lots and parcels of real property to be assessed, with the names of the persons, if known, chargeable with the assessments thereon, and the amount to be assessed thereon in the current year. The method of apportioning benefits and assessments shall be as determined by the board pursuant to Section 3-51-19 NMSA 1978, and shall remain unchanged and be applied uniformly from year to year.
C. Upon the completion and filing of the annual assessment roll in the office of the clerk of the city, a hearing shall be called and conducted thereon in all respects as provided by Section 3-51-22 NMSA 1978. The governing body shall have all powers and duties set forth therein and appeals for review of errors of law in the determinations of the governing body shall be permitted only to the extent and within the times set forth therein.
D. Annual assessments levied as hereinabove provided may be secured and enforced and shall be payable as provided by Sections 3-51-24 through 3-51-28, inclusive, NMSA 1978; provided that annual assessments shall be payable in full within thirty days after publication of the annual assessing ordinance and if not paid by such time shall be delinquent.
