§ 9569 Drainage District Property Exemption

Key Takeaways

  • •If land is sold to a drainage district, it can't be sold again for unpaid taxes or fees until it's either bought back or sold by the district's board.
  • •This rule stops the county from selling the land for unpaid bills while the drainage district owns it.
  • •The drainage district gets to decide what happens to the land until they sell it or someone buys it back.

Example

A farmer sells his land to a drainage district because he can't pay his taxes. The county tries to sell the land again because the taxes are still unpaid.

The county can't sell the land again because the drainage district owns it now. The district gets to keep it or sell it themselves until someone buys it back.
