Ohio § 6117.28

§ 6117.28.

Whenever the owners of all the lots and lands to be assessed for any sanitary or drainage

facility improvement or any prevention or replacement facility improvement provided

for in this chapter, by petition in writing, request the board of county commissioners

to provide for the acquisition or construction, maintenance, and operation of the

improvement, describing the improvement and the lots and lands owned by them respectively

to be assessed to pay the cost of acquisition or construction, maintenance, and operation

of the improvement and consenting that their lots and lands may be assessed to pay

the cost of the acquisition or construction of the improvement and of its maintenance

and operation as provided in this chapter, and waive all legal notices otherwise required,

the board may have the county sanitary engineer prepare, or otherwise cause to be

prepared, the necessary plans, specifications, and estimate of cost of the acquisition

or construction, maintenance, and operation of the improvement and a tentative assessment.  When the owners state, in writing, that they have examined the estimate of cost

and tentative assessment, that they have no objections to them, and that, in case

bonds are proposed to be issued prior to the acquisition or construction of the improvement,

they waive their right or option to pay the assessments in cash, the board may proceed

as provided in this chapter to cause the improvement to be acquired or constructed

and to cause provision to be made for the payment of the cost of its acquisition or

construction, maintenance, and operation, except that none of the notices otherwise

required by law need be given and no opportunity need be provided for the filing of

objections to the improvement, its character and termini, the boundaries of the assessment

district, or the tentative assessment or, if bonds are issued prior to the acquisition

or construction of the improvement, for paying the assessments in cash.  The board may proceed to issue or incur public obligations in the required amount,

complete the acquisition or construction of the improvement, and levy and collect

the assessments authorized by this chapter.  No person or public agency shall have the right to appeal from any decision or action

of the board in the matter except refusal by the board to proceed with the improvement. The tentative assessment provided for in this section shall be for the information

of property owners and shall not be levied or certified to the county auditor for

collection.  On completion of the improvement, its cost shall be determined, and the county sanitary

engineer shall prepare, or otherwise cause to be prepared, a revised assessment based

on the actual cost and in substantially the same proportion as the tentative assessment.  The board shall confirm and levy the revised assessment and certify it to the county

auditor for collection.
