At any time following the formation of a district under this chapter and the issuance of the initial issue of bonds, any parcel of land may be added to the district if the owner of such parcel files with the council a petition for such inclusion and the council grants such petition.

The amount paid to the city shall be placed in the fund in which the proceeds of an ad valorem assessment would be placed. If such petition is granted, such parcel shall thereafter be entitled to the same rights as those which apply to other lands in the district, but only as said rights are set forth in or granted pursuant to this chapter, and shall be subject to all ad valorem assessments thereafter levied in the district under this chapter.
