(1)Lots with a tax assessment freeze under chapter 10-6A; or
(2)Lots classified as agricultural property under §10-6-110.

The governing body may directly bill the affected property owner for the fee in a manner determined by the municipality, or the governing body may require the county treasurer to add the fee assessed to the general assessment against the property and certify the fee assessed together with the regular assessment to the county auditor to be collected in the same manner as municipal taxes are collected for general purposes. The fee assessed is subject to review and equalization the same as assessments or taxes for general purposes.
