That special assessment, when delinquent, shall be returned in trust for collection and the local governmental unit has the same rights as provided in s. 66.0713 (3) 67.16 (2) (c).

Note: Corrects cross-references. 1999 Wis. Act 150 renumbered s. 66.066 (2) (c) to s. 66.0621 (4) (c), but the cross-reference in this provision was not amended correctly. 1999 Wis. Act 150 renumbered s. 66.54 (9) (c) to s. 67.16 (2) (c) but changed the cross-reference to s. 66.54 (9) (c) in this provision to s. 66.0713 (3) (c).

Note: Inserts correct cross-reference. 1999 Wis. Act 150 renumbered both s. 66.076 (5) (b) and (7) to be s. 66.0821 (4) (c). 2001 Wis. Act 30 renumbered s. 66.0821 (4) (c), as renumbered from s. 66.076 (7), to be s. 66.0821 (4) (d). Prior to 1999 Wis. Act 150, the cross-reference amended here was to s. 66.076 (7).

Note: Confirms renumbering by the revisor under s. 13.93 (1) (b). 2001 Wis. Act 109 renumbered s. 95.22 without taking into account the treatment of that section by 2001 Wis. Act 56. This section restores the numbering by Act 56.
