443.015 ASSESSMENT TO DISPOSE OF GARBAGE IN CERTAIN CITIES.
The council of any statutory city or city of the fourth class which shall provide by contract or
otherwise for regular collection and disposal of garbage or refuse from dwellings and places of
business in the statutory city or city of the fourth class may by ordinance obligate the owners of
all property served to pay the proportionate cost of such service to their respective properties, and
in default of payment such city council may annually levy an assessment equal to such unpaid
cost as of September first of each year, against each lot or parcel of land so served for which the
service charge is unpaid. Such assessment may include a penalty not to exceed ten percent of the
amount thereof and shall bear interest at such amount not exceeding six percent per annum as the
council shall determine. Such assessment shall be certified to the auditor of the county in which
the land assessed is situated and shall be collected and remitted to the city treasurer in the same
manner as assessments for local improvements.
