§ 5.10 Transfer Of Lots Without Constructing Improvements

In the event the subdivider, its assigns or successors in interest, should transfer lots in a subdivision without having constructed or installed the pavement, watermains, sanitary sewer, storm sewers, sidewalks, or other public improvements, the city shall have the right to install and construct such improvements and the costs of such improvements shall be lien and charge against all the lots adjacent to or in front of which the improvements are made and lots which may be assessed for improvements under the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of Iowa. The cost of such improvements need not meet the requirements of notice, benefit or value as provided by state law for assessing such improvements. In addition, the requirement to construct such improvements is, and shall remain, a lien on all property located within the subdivision until properly released by the city.
