§ 6101.54.
Whenever the owners or representatives of twenty-five per cent or more of the acreage
or value of the lands in a conservancy district or the board of directors of a conservancy
district file a petition with the clerk of the court having jurisdiction in the original
case, stating that there has been a material change in the values of the property
in the district or additional benefits are being derived from the works and the improvements
of the district since the last previous appraisal of benefits, and praying for a readjustment
of the appraisal of benefits for the purpose of making a more equitable basis for
the levy of the maintenance assessment under section 6101.53 of the Revised Code , the clerk shall give notice of the filing and of a hearing of the petition by publication. Upon hearing of the petition, if the court finds there has been a material change
in the values of property in the district, or that additional benefits are derived
from the works and improvements of the district, or both, since the last previous
appraisal of benefits, the court shall order that there be a readjustment of the appraisal
of benefits for the purpose of providing a basis upon which to levy the maintenance
assessment of the district. The court then shall direct the board of appraisers of the conservancy district
to make the readjustment in the manner provided in this chapter, and the board shall
make its report. The same proceedings shall be had on it, as nearly as may be, as are provided in
this chapter for the appraisal of benefits accruing for original construction. In making the readjustment of the appraisal of benefits, the readjusted appraisal
shall not be limited to the aggregate amount of or to the benefits or properties or
persons listed in the original or any previous appraisal of benefits, and, after the
making of the readjustment, the limitation of the annual maintenance assessment to
one per cent of the total appraised benefits shall apply to the amount of the benefits
as readjusted. There shall be no readjustment of benefits more often than once in six years.
