§ 13660 Special District Annexation Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •If a special district grows by adding new land, it doesn’t automatically shut down other government groups inside that land.
  • •Existing government groups (like a city or county service) keep working even if the special district expands around them.
  • •The law protects smaller government groups from being forced to close just because a bigger district takes over the area.

Example

A small town has its own fire department. Later, a bigger special district (like a water or school district) expands and includes that town.

The town’s fire department doesn’t disappear just because the bigger district now covers the same area. It keeps running like normal.
