§ 13691 Special District Dissolution Rules

• •A special district can be shut down if people vote against borrowing money and the district has no other debts.
• •The district must have been around for at least two years before it can be shut down.
• •Even if the district is shut down, a new one can be made later in the same area.

A small town has a special district for parks. The town votes on whether to borrow money to build a new park, but most people vote no. The district has no other debts and has been around for three years.

Because the vote to borrow money failed and the district has no other debts, the town can decide to shut down the parks district. Later, if they want, they can create a new parks district in the same area.
