Key Takeaways

  • •If a city adds new land, they must tell the special service district about it.
  • •The district has 90 days to say no to the new land being added.
  • •If the district doesn’t say no in 90 days, the new land is automatically part of the district.

Example

A small town grows and adds a new neighborhood to its borders.

§ 29726 Annexation To Special Districts

Upon the completion of the annexation of any territory, in accordance with law, to any city included in a special service district, the city clerk shall file with the secretary of the district a certified copy of the ordinance, resolution or other document completing said annexation containing a description of the property so annexed. Unless the district within 90 days after such filing shall file with the city clerk the district’s written objections to the annexation to the special service district of said territory, such territory shall, upon the termination of such period, be deemed incorporated into and annexed to the special service district, and thereafter is subject to taxation along with the entire territory of the special service district in accordance with the assessable valuation of the property thereof for special service district purposes, and for the payment of any indebtedness theretofore or thereafter incurred by the special service district.
