4.09 DEFERRED ASSESSMENTS.
(1) The Common Council of the City of Stevens Point has made the following findings:
(a) In the interest of the public health, welfare and safety it is often necessary to construct certain public improvements in areas which are undeveloped or outside the territorial limits of the city.
(b) In the interest of economic development within the City of Stevens Point, high priority for granting a deferment under this section shall be given to properties which lie within the major development areas and which are then acres in size or larger. The council recognizes that larger tracts of ten acres or more incur greater holding costs. In such cases it results that payment for such improvements should be delayed until such time as the area benefited is ultimately developed or the use of the improvements is desired by property owners outside the limits of the city.
(2) Where such condition is found the common council
may defer the due date of any special assessment levied against property abutting on or benefited by a public improvement
which abutting property is zoned or used for agriculture or lies outside the city limits. Such special assessment
must be paid, however, within 10 years of the date of the resolution making the levy unless the common council
permits additional time by allowing payment of the assessment in installments in which case the assessment shall
be paid within the time prescribed by the resolution permitting installment payments.
(3) If the common council defers the due date of special assessments under this section it shall make an annual
interest charge not to exceed 8 per cent of the total deferred assessment which charge shall be added to the total
assessment for each full year of deferment.
(4) Owners of property for which a special assessment has been deferred under this section shall not have use of
the improvement until:
(a) The amount of the deferred assessment, including interest due thereon, is paid in full to the city, or
(b) Such an owner desiring to make use of the improvement shall enter into an agreement with the city to pay the assessment plus accrued interest, plus future interest over a stipulated period of time in equal installments of principal plus variable installments of interest as determined by the city except that where approved by the common council, only that portion of the total amount of deferred assessment shall be collected as it applies to the portion of land being developed.
(5) Any special assessment deferred under this section
shall be a lien against the property assessed from the date of the resolution making the levy.
(6) Whenever the due date of a special assessment shall be deferred under this section a notice shall be published
in the official paper substantially as follows:
DEFERRED ASSESSMENT NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the special assessments for the improvement of (describe the improvement) have been
determined as to each parcel of real estate affected thereby and a statement of the same is on file with the city
clerk. It is proposed to defer payment of the same with interest thereon (here insert the per cent per annum).

suspended or revoked.
(7) If any person liable for any amount of tax under this section sells out his/her business or stock of goods
or quits the business, his/her successors or assigns shall withhold sufficient of the purchase price to cover such
amount until the former owner produces a receipt from the treasurer that it has been paid or a certificate stating
that no amount is due. If a person subject to the tax imposed by this section fails to withhold such amount of
tax from the purchase price as required, he/she shall be come personally liable for payment of the amount required
to be withheld by him/her to the extent of the price of the accommodations valued in money.

any person under this section. This determination may be made upon the basis of the facts contained in the return
being audited or on the basis of any other information within the treasurer's possession. One or more such office
audit determinations may be made of the amount due for anyone or for more than one period.
(9) The treasurer may, by field audit, determine the tax required to be paid to the city or the refund due to any
person under this section. The determination may be made upon the basis of the facts contained in the return being
audited or upon any other information within the treasurer's possession. The treasurer is authorized to examine
and inspect the books, records, memoranda, and property of any person in order to verify the tax liability of that
person or of another person. Nothing herein shall prevent the treasurer from making a determination of tax at any
time.
(10) If any person fails to file a return as required by this section, the treasurer shall make an estimate of
the amount of the gross receipts under subsection (2). Such estimate shall be made for the period for which such
person failed to make a return and shall be based upon any information which is in the treasurer's possession or
may come into his/her possession . On the basis of this estimate the treasurer shall compute and determine the
amount required to be paid to the city, adding to the sum thus arrived at a penalty equal to ten percent (10%)
thereof. One or more such determinations may be made for one or more than one period.
(11) All unpaid taxes under this section shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum from the
due date of the return until the first day of the month following the month in which the tax is paid or deposited
with the treasurer. All refunded taxes shall bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum from the due date of the
return for purposes of interest computation. If the treasurer determines that any overpayment of tax has been made
intentionally or by reason of carelessness or neglect, or if the tax which was overpaid was not accompanied by
a complete return, it shall not allow any interest thereon.
(12) Delinquent tax returns shall be subject to a ten dollar ($10) late filing fee. The tax imposed by this section
shall become delinquent if not paid:

a return is filed late, or an incorrect return is filed, the entire tax finally determined shall be subject to
a penalty of twenty-five per cent (25%) of the tax, exclusive of interest or other penalties. If a person fails
to file a return when due, or files a false or fraudulent return with the intent in either case to defeat or evade
the tax imposed by this section, a penalty of fifty percent (50%) shall be added to the tax required to be paid,
exclusive of interest and other penalties.
(14) In order to protect the revenue of the city, the treasurer may require any person liable for the tax imposed
by this section to place with him/her, before or after a permit is issued, such security up to $15,000 maximum
or other suitable securities as the treasurer determines. If any taxpayer fails or refuses to place such security,
the treasurer may refuse or revoke such permit. If any taxpayer is delinquent in the payment of the taxes imposed
by this section, the treasurer may, upon ten (10) days notice, recover the taxes, interest and penalties from the
security placed with the treasurer by such taxpayer. No interest shall be paid or allowed by the city to any person
for the deposit of such security.

invoices and other pertinent papers in such form as the treasurer requires.

losses, expenditures, or any particular thereof, set forth or disclosed in any return, or to permit any return
or copy thereof to be seen or examined by any person, except as provided in subsection (16).
(18) Any person who is subject to the tax imposed by this section who fails to obtain a permit as required in subsection
(4), or who fails or refuses to permit the inspection of his records by the treasurer after such inspection has
been duly requested by the treasurer, or who fails to file a return as provided in this section, or who violates
any other provisions of this section, shall be subject to a forfeiture not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars
