§ 5:10a-43.
Every assessment for any improvement, together with interest thereon and all costs
and charges connected therewith, shall be, upon authorization of the assessment by
resolution of the commission, a first lien on the land described in the assessment,
paramount to all prior or subsequent alienations and descents of such land or encumbrances
thereon, and shall constitute a lien in the same manner as taxes and assessments for
State purposes, notwithstanding any mistake in the name or names of any owner or owners,
or any omission to name any owner or owners who are unknown, and notwithstanding any
lack of form therein, or in any proceeding which does not impair the substantial rights
of the owner or owners or person or persons having a lien upon or interest in any
such land. Confirmation of the amount of the assessment by the commission, or by the court,
shall be considered as determining the amount of the existing lien and not as establishing
the lien. All assessments for improvements shall be presumed to have been regularly assessed
and confirmed, and every assessment or proceeding preliminary thereto shall be presumed
to have been regularly made or conducted until the contrary be demonstrated.
