41-9-240. Payment generally; unpaid assessments as liens; duty of clerk of court; state lands.

Unless otherwise provided by said order, such assessment shall be payable at once; and from the time of the entry of said order, assessments for construction of new work and additional assessments and interest thereon, shall be a lien upon the lands assessed, until paid. Any owner of land, or any corporation assessed for construction, may at any time within thirty (30) days after the confirmation of said report, pay into court, the amount of the assessment against his land or any tract thereof, or against any such corporation. Said payment shall relieve said lands from the lien of said assessment, and said corporation from all liability on said assessment. The clerk of said court shall collect no fees or commissions for collecting or disbursing such payments, and shall on demand of the commissioners of the district pay over to them all sums thus coming into his hands. Upon presentation to the state auditor of an order of the district court having jurisdiction of such drainage district, properly certified, the auditor shall draw his warrant on the treasurer on the common school account within the permanent land income fund in favor of the commissioners of such drainage district for the total amount that may be assessed against any lands included in such district, the title to which is in the state of Wyoming, and upon the payment of such warrants such lands shall thereby be relieved from the lien theretofore created for such costs of construction.
