§ 58-14. Effect of informalities or irregularities.

No omission, informality or irregularity in the proceedings in or preliminary to the making of any special assessment under this chapter shall affect the validity of the assessment where the assessment roll has been confirmed by the city council, and the assessment roll and the record thereof kept by the city clerk shall be competent and sufficient evidence that the assessment was duly levied and the assessment roll duly made and adopted and that all other proceedings precedent to the adoption of the assessment roll were duly had, taken and performed, as required by this chapter. No failure of the city clerk to record the assessment roll or of the clerk or any other officer to deliver the roll to the proper office or to the clerk of the circuit court, on or before the time prescribed for such delivery, or to do any other act or thing by him required, shall in any way invalidate any assessment; and no variance from the directions contained in this chapter as to the form and manner of any of the proceedings shall be held material, unless it be clearly shown that the party objecting was materially affected thereby.
