2005 California Streets and Highways Code Sections 5341-5344 CHAPTER 15. DISTRICT ASSESSMENTS

5341.  The engineer shall prior to completion of the contract make a
diagram of the property affected or benefited by the proposed work,
as described in the resolution of intention, which is to be assessed
to pay the costs and expenses thereof.
5342.  The diagram shall show each separate lot or parcel of land
within the limits of the assessment district, and the dimensions of
each such lot or parcel of land, and the relative location of the
same to the work proposed to be done.
5343.  Immediately after its completion the diagram shall be
delivered to the superintendent of streets, who shall immediately,
after the contractor has fulfilled his contract to the satisfaction
of the superintendent of streets or the legislative body, on appeal,
proceed to estimate upon the lots or parcels of land within the
assessment district, as shown by the diagram, the benefits arising
from such work, and to be received by each such lot or parcel of
land. He shall thereupon assess upon and against the lands in the
assessment district the total amount of the costs and expenses of
such work, and in so doing shall assess the total sum upon the
several lots or parcels of land in the assessment district, benefited
thereby, in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by
each of the said several lots or parcels of land.
5344.  In other respects the assessment shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 16.
