Montana Title 7. Local Government § 7-12-2154. Payment of damages incurred as result of improvements

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. However, if the resolution levying the assessment to defray the cost and expenses of making the improvement has been passed and adopted by the board, it shall pass and adopt a supplemental resolution levying an additional assessment against the property in the district for the purpose of paying the amount awarded, and the supplemental resolution must be made in the same manner and prepared and certified the same as the original resolution levying the assessment to defray the cost of making the improvements.
