Sec. 1471.061.  ISSUANCE AND FORM OF CERTIFICATES.  (a)  A road district may issue and transfer, on terms determined by the district, a certificate of assessment for each assessed lot or parcel.  A certificate of assessment may be issued under Chapter 1207 as if it were a bond.  On making a supplemental assessment or reassessment, the district shall provide a certificate of assessment reflecting any change in the value of the original assessment.
(b)  A certificate must state:
(1)  the amount of the lien on the assessed property;
(2)  the liability of the property owner for the lien;
(3)  the terms of transfer of the certificate;
(4)  that the assessment was imposed and the certificate was issued under this subchapter;  and
(5)  that the certificate is not an obligation of or secured by a pledge of the faith or credit of a county in which the district is located.
(c)  A certificate is prima facie evidence of all the matters shown on the certificate.
(d)  A holder of the certificate may enforce the assessment in the same manner as the district may enforce assessments made under this subchapter.
