Whenever the owner or anyone interested in property situated in the special improvement district, after filing with the county clerk a written notice claiming that the person's property has been damaged, is awarded or recovers any amount because of damages sustained by the property because of the construction of an improvement in the special improvement district and before the resolution levying the assessment to defray the cost of making the improvement in the district is passed and adopted by the board of county commissioners, the amount ordered to be recovered must be added to and constitute a part of making the improvements.
