Secondly, State Statute 1105b provides that assessments can be levied against abutting properties for street improvements, based on an estimated cost of such improvements and adjustments made thereto at such time as the actual bid is received.

The balance being due and payable in nine (9) equal installments with interest on the unpaid balance at eight percent (8%) per annum, with principal and interest due on the anniversary date of the initial payment.
