(a) In the event condemnation proceedings have been instituted in connection with the construction of such limited access facility and interim certificates have been issued by the governing body or board of county commissioners in accordance with this article, at such time as all the proceedings become final and it may thus be determined with definiteness the exact amount of money so advanced by the contractor for that purpose, the governing body or the board of county commissioners shall, by resolution, determine the exact sum, together with accrued interest, due to the owners and holders of the outstanding certificates, and shall appoint a time for holding a session to apportion such total sum, and to hear objections thereto.

(b) Notice of such hearing shall be published by the city or county clerk in five consecutive issues of a daily newspaper or in two consecutive issues of a weekly newspaper published in the county and in general circulation in the city or county. The time fixed for hearing shall not be less than five (5) days nor more than fifteen (15) days from the date of the last publication.

(c) At the time and place specified in such notice the governing body or the board of county commissioners shall apportion the amount among the tracts, pieces and parcels of land in exact ratio and pro rata to the apportionments theretofore made in accordance with this article for the cost of construction; and objections and complaints shall be limited to whether or not such apportionments are, or are not, in strict ratio or in identical proportions to such previous assessment.

(d) The apportionments shall be levied by ordinance or resolution, which shall provide that the owners of the property so assessed shall have the privilege of paying the amounts of their respective assessments without interest at any time within thirty (30) days from the date of the first publication of the ordinance or resolution.
