A. The district board may impose a special assessment on property within the district to facilitate the financing of renewable energy improvements to the property. The special assessment shall be sufficient in the case of each property to pay the costs of the financing of the renewable energy improvements, including the costs of bond issuance, debt service and administrative costs of the district and the municipality or county in which the district is located.
B. The special assessment shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as property taxes are levied and collected, except to the extent that the district board has provided for other imposition and collection procedures. Money derived from the imposition of the special assessment shall be kept separately from other funds of the governing body.
C. A special assessment shall constitute a lien on the property, which shall be effective during the period in which the assessment is imposed and shall have priority over all other liens except liens for ad valorem property taxes.
D. The obligation to pay the special assessment may be prepaid and permanently satisfied, and the district board shall specify the conditions under which this may be achieved.
