10-115. Payment of special assessments. Where bonds have been or are to be issued by any municipality, which bonds are payable from special assessments to be levied by such municipality, the owner of any lot or piece of land liable to any such special assessment may redeem his or her property from such liability by paying the entire amount chargeable against such property at any time before the issuance of the bonds, or after the issuance of the bonds by paying all of the installments of the assessments which have been levied, and also the amount of the unlevied installments, with interest on the latter at the rate of interest provided in said bonds from the date of the bonds to the time of maturity of the last installment.

In all cases where installments of special assessments not yet levied are paid, as above provided, whether before or after the issuance of the bonds, to the treasurer of the municipality issuing such bonds, the treasurer shall receipt therefor, and all sums so paid shall be applied solely to the payment of such improvements or the redemption of the bonds issued therefor. Where any piece of property has been redeemed from liability for the cost of any improvement, as herein provided, such property shall not thereafter be liable to further special assessment for the cost of such improvement.
