§ 131122 Bond Validity Challenge Deadline

• •If someone wants to challenge a new tax law or bonds issued under it, they have to do it within six months after the law is approved.
• •After six months, no one can question or fight the tax law or the bonds anymore—they become final and legal.
• •This rule is about making sure things don’t get dragged out forever—either challenge it fast or accept it.

A city votes to add a new sales tax to pay for better schools. Some people are unhappy and think the tax is unfair.

If those people want to fight the tax in court, they have to do it within six months of the vote. If they wait seven months, they can’t challenge it anymore—the tax stays, and the city can use the money for schools without any more arguments.
