(2) The county judge/executive shall hear in a summary way any objections to the cost of the improvement and to the assessment of land, and shall enter an order confirming the assessment roll or directing the board to change it in accordance with the finding of the court. No question or objection that could have been raised to the final report of the viewers or at any time before the filing of the assessment roll or statement of cost can be raised by exceptions to the assessment roll or statement of costs. The order of the county judge/executive shall be final and may be appealed from in the same manner as from orders confirming a report of the viewers.

(3) The order shall direct the county clerk to certify to the county treasurer a copy of the assessment roll as filed by the board or as changed by the court. One (1) copy of the assessment roll shall be retained by the clerk and recorded as part of the drainage record. If land in any other county is assessed, another copy of the assessment roll so far as it relates to land in that county shall be filed with the county clerk of that county.
