Section 33:2755 - Municipalities under home rule or legislative charters; levy and collection of property assessments for public worksA.

Acting under the authority of Article VI, Section 36 of the Constitution of 1974, it is hereby provided that any municipality operating under a home rule or special legislative charter shall have all rights, powers, privileges, and authority granted by any general law of the state which uniformly applies by its terms to all municipalities relating to the levy and collection of local or special assessments on real property for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, or improving works of public improvement and the issuance of certificates of indebtedness to cover the costs of any such public improvement secured in whole or in part by pledges of such local or special assessments.C. The term "works of public improvement" as used herein shall mean and include the acquisition, construction, or improvement of: (1) streets, roadways, boulevards, avenues, squares, lanes, alleys, or any part thereof including their paving, repaving and the construction, improvements or reconstruction of curbs and gutters in connection therewith;(3) water supply and distribution facilities;(4) sewer collection, treatment, and disposal facilities; and(5) all necessary appurtenances and auxiliary facilities in connection with any of the foregoing.D. The rights, powers, privileges and authority granted herein shall be in addition to any other such rights, powers, privileges and authority which now subsist (sic) or may be hereinafter conferred on municipalities under the laws of Louisiana or contained in any home rule or special legislative charters.Added by Acts 1975, No. 179, §§1 to 4, eff. 7/12/1975.
