A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO VALIDATE AN ASSESSMENT IN EDEN.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  A  procedural problem happened with a sewer assessment that was executed in Eden in 1997.  The city installed sewer in a developed area that had recently been annexed with the intent of assessing the benefitted property owners according to the statutes for a portion of the costs of the project.  The process began, but may not have been properly completed.  The property owners were assessed without objection.  Some have paid while others have not.  However, the assessment may not be valid at this point in time because the statutory procedures may not have been properly followed.  This act validates the assessment to make it possible for the city to collect from those who have not paid and to correct the procedures that were not properly followed.
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
