Section § 9702

Section § 9703
This law says that if there is a small mistake in calculating the amount due for a bond, reassessment, or installment, including any interest or penalties, it doesn't make the payment or resulting documents like a certificate of sale or deed invalid. The error must be minor or must benefit the property owner.
No bond, reassessment, or installment thereof, or of the interest or penalties thereon, and no certificate of sale or deed shall be held invalid for error in the computation of the proper amount due on it if the error be found to be comparatively negligible or is found to be in favor of the owner of real property affected thereby.

This law in California states that if you want to challenge the validity of a reassessment, or any bonds being refunded because of it, you can file a lawsuit based on specific guidelines found in another part of the legal code. The reassessment is considered officially in place once it is confirmed.
An action to determine the validity of a reassessment and of any refunding bonds issued or to be issued thereon may be brought pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 860) of Title 10 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. For that purpose, the reassessment shall be deemed to be in existence upon its confirmation.

Section § 9705
This law explains that if any assessment (which is a type of charge or tax) or refunding bond is found to be illegal or invalid for reasons that affect the whole assessment or bond issue, the original bonds that were supposed to be replaced by the new ones remain valid. If the original bonds were already canceled, the city treasurer must issue new bonds that are exactly like the canceled ones to replace them.
If any reassessment or any refunding bond is held illegal or invalid in any action or proceeding upon any ground which would apply to the entire reassessment or the entire issue of refunding bonds, then the unpaid bonds refunded remain in full force and effect. If the unpaid bonds have been canceled, the treasurer of the city which conducted the invalid refunding or reassessment proceedings shall issue new bonds of the same tenor, force, and effect as the canceled unpaid bonds.

If refunding bonds are invalidated or held to be illegal, all of the provisions of the act shall apply to the original bonds and to any bonds issued under Section 9705 to replace the original bonds.
