§ 6290 Winegrape District Debt Assessment

If there are insufficient funds to discharge all claims and accounts brought pursuant to Section 6289, the board of supervisors shall, at the time of levying the next general county taxes, levy a special assessment upon the net acreage devoted to the growing of winegrapes that benefited from the dissolved district in an amount sufficient to discharge all outstanding claims and accounts against the district. In the case of a consolidated district, the board of supervisors of each county in which a portion of the district is located shall levy a special assessment based upon the ratio that the proportion of outstanding claims and accounts bears to the net acreage of the district in each county. (Added by Stats. 1993, Ch. 1078, Sec. 1. Effective October 11, 1993.)
