If, after the original assessment shall have been made, a portion of any lot or parcel of land which is assessed in solido, shall have changed ownership so that no one person is the owner of the entire lot or parcel of land so assessed in solido, then any such owner, or other party interested therein, may apply to the municipal authorities for a change or division of the assessment. Such application shall be in writing, filed with the municipal clerk, and the same notice and procedure shall be had thereon as is provided for the redemption of less than the whole when sold for delinquent installments. If the governing authorities are satisfied from their investigation that the land in each instance will be adequate security for the assessment placed thereon, and that the rights of the municipality will be in no wise injuriously affected, they may by appropriate order change or divide the assessments according to the ownership of the land so assessed.
The decision of the governing authorities as to the right to change or divide assessments shall be final. Any aggrieved party shall have the right to appeal as in other cases.
