When deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become due.

Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and City Code Section 2.80 adopted under it may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment apply to the Finance Director on such forms as are prescribed by the County Auditor for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his property.
