AMENDMENT TO BALTIMORE CITY
CHARTER
RESOLUTION No. 12, APPROVED SEPTEMBER
27, 1934.
This amendment postpones the collection of benefit
assessments until the actual work of physically open-
ing, extending, widening, straightening, closing or
grading of any street has been completed; extends
the time within which benefit assessments, or the
first installments thereof, must be collected from
two months to six months from the date the physical
work has actually been done; postpones the City’s
lien for benefit assessments until such physical work
has actually been done; requires notice to be placed
upon lien certificates that a benefit assessment has
been made, from and after the return of the Com-
missioners for Opening Streets is sent to the City
Collector, but that said assessment will not become
a lien until the physical work has actually been
done; allows benefit assessments to be paid before
they become liens and provides for the return of
such payments in the event the condemnation ordi-
nance is later repealed or declared invalid; author-
izes the Commissioners for Opening Streets to ap-
portion benefit assessments after the completion of
their final return; and allows any one dissatisfied
with such apportionment to appeal to the Baltimore
City Court.
