with the State Auditor and Inspector, any party being assessed may

commence action in district court to protest any alleged illegality

of the budget or assessment. The thirty-day protest period begins

upon the date the budget is received in the Office of the State

Auditor and Inspector. After receipt of a protest, the State

Auditor and Inspector shall transmit by certified mail one copy of

each protest to the district, and one copy of each protest to the

county treasurer of each county in which the district is located.

Any protest filed shall inure to the benefit of all parties assessed

within the district. Upon notification of a protest being filed in

district court, the district will have thirty (30) days to withdraw

the budget in order to correct any alleged illegalities. If no

protest is filed within the thirty-day period, the budget, any

appropriations and assessments thereof shall be deemed legal and

final until amended by the board as authorized by law. Parties

being assessed shall have the right at all reasonable times to

examine the budget on file with the board, the county clerk or the

State Auditor and Inspector for the purpose of checking illegalities

in the budget or for filing protests in accordance with this

section.
