§ 29681 Special District Election Timing

Key Takeaways

  • •If a special service district is created, there must be an election about it.
  • •The election can't happen too soon—it has to be at least 74 days after the board says yes.
  • •The election must be on a day when other elections are already happening.

Example

Your town wants to create a new district to pay for extra street cleaning.

The town board approves the new district on January 1st. The earliest they can hold an election about it is March 16th (74 days later), and it has to be on a day when other elections are already planned, like a regular voting day.
