§ 75761 Land Exclusion Petition Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If you want to remove some land from a special area (like a district), you have to ask nicely with a petition.
  • •The petition must say why the land should be removed and describe where the land is.
  • •You don’t have to be super exact about the land details—just as exact as when the county writes it down for taxes.

Example

You own a farm, and you don’t want it to be part of a special water district anymore because you don’t use their water.

You write a petition saying, 'My farm doesn’t need the district’s water, so please take it out.' You describe where your farm is, but you don’t need a super fancy map—just like how the county describes it for taxes.

§ 75761 Land Exclusion Petition Requirements

The petition for exclusion of lands shall state the grounds and reasons upon which it is claimed that the lands should be excluded. The petition shall describe the boundaries of the lands, and shall describe the lands of the petitioner or petitioners which are included within such boundaries. The description of such lands need not be more particular or certain than is required when the lands are entered in the assessment book by the county assessor. (Added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 75.)
