§ 103320 District Property Tax Authority

• •The district can create a property tax.
• •It can have the tax collected by itself or by someone else.
• •The tax must be used for a purpose that the law allows.

A town wants to build a new park and needs money, so it adds a property tax to homeowners' bills.

Because the law says the district can collect property taxes for any lawful purpose, the town can put a tax on houses to raise money for the park.
