The court in which a proceeding is brought to recover a tax or assessment paid, or to declare void the proceeding to locate or construct an improvement, or to enjoin a tax or an assessment levied or ordered to be levied to pay the costs thereof, if there is manifest error in the proceedings, shall allow the plaintiff in the action to show that he has been injured thereby. If the court finds that the board of county commissioners had jurisdiction to hear and determine the petition and to levy the assessments, then the court may hear evidence to determine the amount of the assessment which the plaintiff shall be required to pay and enter a decree accordingly.
