        307.45  STATE-OWNED LANDS -- ASSESSMENT.
         1.  Cities and counties may assess the cost of a public
      improvement against the state when the improvement benefits property
      owned by the state and under the jurisdiction and control of the
      department's administrator of highways.  The director shall pay from
      the primary road fund the portion of the cost of the improvement
      which would be legally assessable against the land if privately
      owned.
         2.  Assessments against property under the jurisdiction of the
      department's administrator of highways shall be made in the same
      manner as those made against private property, except that the city
      or county making the assessment shall cause a copy of the public
      notice of hearing to be mailed to the director by certified mail.
         3.  Assessments against property owned by the state and not under
      the jurisdiction and control of the department's administrator of
      highways shall be made in the same manner as those made against
      private property and payment shall be made by the executive council
      from any funds of the state not otherwise appropriated.
