§ 8767 Invalid Assessment Adjustment

• •If a piece of land in a drainage area was charged a fee but a court says it was wrong or unfair, the land might still have to pay part of that fee later.
• •The new fee will be based on how much the land actually benefited from the drainage work.
• •This rule makes sure everyone pays their fair share for the drainage project.

A farmer's land was charged $1,000 for a new drainage system, but a court later says the charge was unfair.

The farmer might still have to pay some of that $1,000, but only if his land really benefited from the drainage. If his land benefited half as much as others, he might pay $500 instead.
