§ 7141 District Perpetual Succession

This law says the district keeps existing forever, even if its members change.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district never stops existing.
  • •It can own assets and sue or be sued in its own name.
  • •Changes in membership do not affect its legal identity.

Example

A local water district keeps providing water to homes even after some board members retire.

Because the district has perpetual succession, it doesn't disappear when people leave; it can still own property, make contracts, and serve residents.
