The diagram of an assessment district shall show (1) the exterior boundaries of the assessment district, (2) the boundaries of any zones within the district, and (3) the lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land within the district. Each lot or parcel shall be identified by a distinctive number or letter.

The lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land shown on the diagram shall conform to those shown on the county assessor's maps for the fiscal year to which the report applies. The diagram may refer to the county assessor's maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of any lots or parcels, in which case, those maps shall govern for all details concerning the lines and dimensions of such lots or parcels. The diagram may consist of one or more sheets and may be included in the report or filed with the report although separately bound. (Prior code § 85.04.450)

The assessment roll, where required, shall refer to the fiscal year to which it applies and shall contain the assessment number of each parcel to be specially assessed, and the amount of each proposed assessment for the present or upcoming fiscal year.
