This Chapter shall be liberally construed in order to effectuate its purposes.

The failure to mail any notice to any owner or lessee of property within the proposed improvement district and proposed to be assessed, or the failure of any such owner or lessee to receive any notice shall not affect the validity of any proceeding taken pursuant to this Article, unless a failure to mail any particular notice occurs with respect to a sufficient number of owners or lessees to demonstrate gross negligence or lack of good faith effort in the mailing thereof.Errors in Computation. No bond, coupon, assessment, or installment thereof or interest or penalties thereon, certificate of sale or deed shall be held invalid for any error in the computation of the proper amount due on the same, if the error is found to be comparatively negligible, or is found to be in favor of the owner of the bond, coupon or real property affected thereby.
