309.190 Apportionment of costs and assessments according to benefits.
1. Whenever the electors shall have authorized an issue of bonds, as hereinbefore provided, the board of directors shall examine the land in the district, and shall determine the benefits which will accrue to each tract or subdivision from the construction or purchase of the works proposed for the district; and the cost of such works shall be apportioned or distributed over such tracts or subdivisions of land in proportion to such benefits.
2. The board shall make or cause to be made a list of such apportionment or distribution, which list shall contain a complete description of each subdivision or tract of land of such district with the amount and rate per acre of such apportionment or distribution, and the name of the owner thereof, or it may prepare a map on a convenient scale showing each of the subdivisions or tracts with the rate per acre of such apportionment entered thereon; but where all or any portion of the lands are apportioned a benefit by the board at the same rate, a general statement to that effect shall be sufficient.
3. Whenever thereafter an assessment is made, either in lieu of bonds, or an annual assessment for raising the interest on bonds, or any portion of the principal, or the expenses of maintaining the property of the district, or any special assessment voted by the electors, it shall be spread upon the lands in the same proportion as the assessments of benefits, and the whole amount of the assessments of benefits shall equal the amount of bonds or other obligations authorized at the election last above mentioned.
