    No. 12939.
    Supreme Court of South Dakota.
    Considered on Briefs Nov. 26, 1980.
    Decided May 20, 1981.
    
      James E. Kessler of Erickson & Kessler, Brookings, for plaintiffs and appellants.

   PER CURIAM.

On June 26, 1978, certain street assessments imposed by the city of Brookings, South Dakota, were declared null and void. The City was ordered to refund, with interest, any assessments paid.

After this Court affirmed the trial court judgment, a dispute arose concerning the amount of interest to be paid to those property owners receiving a refund. The trial court ordered that the interest be paid at a rate of six percent per annum from the time that the assessments were paid to the City until the date of the refund. We modify.

We agree that from the date of payment until judgment the property owners are entitled to interest at a rate of six percent per annum. SDCL 54-3-5,1975 S.D.Sess.Laws, ch. 297. At the time that this judgment was entered, however, SDCL 54-3-5 provided that interest, “in the case of a judgment ... shall be ten per cent per annum.” 1975 S.D.Sess.Laws, ch. 297. Effective July 1, 1980, the interest rate “in the case of a judgment” was increased to twelve percent per annum. SDCL 54-3-5, 1980 S.D.Sess. Laws, ch. 336, § 2. Consequently, the property owners are entitled to interest at a rate of ten percent per annum from June 26,1978, until June 30,1980, and interest at a rate of twelve percent per annum thereafter.

The order appealed from is modified.
