(b) No assessment of benefits shall be levied except with the approval of two-thirds (2/3) in assessed value, as shown by the last county assessment and the deed records in the office of the circuit clerk and ex officio recorder, of the owners of real property in the district. This approval may, however, be reflected by the petition referred to in § 14-217-105(a). Subject to such approval, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit the number of assessments that may be levied by a district.
(c) Any assessment of benefits imposed pursuant to this chapter, and any taxes collected thereon, may be pledged to secure the payment of assessment-secured bonds issued under this chapter or used to accomplish any of the purposes authorized by this chapter, including without limitation the operation and maintenance of any consolidated utility system.
