§ 13911 Territory Annexation To District

Key Takeaways

  • •When a city adds new land, it must tell the district by sending a copy of the paperwork.
  • •The district has 90 days to say 'no' to the new land or parts of it. If they don’t say anything, the land automatically becomes part of the district.
  • •If the land becomes part of the district, people there have to pay taxes like everyone else in the district.
  • •If the district says 'no' to only some parts of the land, they must explain which parts.

Example

A small town grows and adds a new neighborhood with 100 homes. The town sends the paperwork to the local school district.

The school district has 90 days to say if they don’t want this new neighborhood to be part of the district. If they don’t reply, the 100 homes become part of the school district, and the families there have to pay school taxes like everyone else. If the district only wants 50 of the homes, they must say exactly which 50.
