Section § 9477
This law says that if there's a small error in calculating the amount due for bonds, coupons, assessments, installments, or related penalties, it won't make these items invalid. This also applies to certificates of sale or deeds. As long as the mistake is minor or benefits the property owner, it's not considered significant enough to void the document.
No bond, coupon, assessment, 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 be found to be in favor of the owner of real property affected thereby.

Section § 9478
This law states that if you want to confirm if a reassessment or any related refunding bonds are valid, you can start a legal action under specific procedures outlined in another legal section. It's important to note that a reassessment is considered to exist once it has been officially approved.
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 such purpose the reassessment shall be deemed to be in existence upon its confirmation.

Section § 9479
This law states that if a reassessment or refunding bond is declared illegal or invalid, and this reason affects the whole reassessment or entire bond issue, the original bonds remain valid. If the original bonds were canceled because of the invalid proceedings, the city treasurer must issue new bonds with the same terms as the original ones.
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.

Section § 9480
If a refunding bond, which is a bond issued to replace an original bond, is found to be illegal or invalid, then the rules and terms that applied to the original bond will also apply to any new bonds issued to replace the original ones.
If refunding bonds are invalidated or held to be illegal, all of the provisions of the act under which the original bonds were issued shall apply to the original bonds and to any bonds issued under Section 9479 to replace such original bonds.
