(1) The district has no power
of taxation or right to levy or assess taxes, except an annual levy, not exceeding six-tenths of a
mill on each dollar of the valuation for assessment of property in said district, as provided in
section 37-47-109. The district has no power to contract or incur any obligation or indebtedness
except as expressly provided in this article, and then any obligation or indebtedness so
contracted or incurred is to be payable out of the funds derived through said limited tax and not
otherwise; except that said district for and in behalf of any subdistrict or improvement district
created under this article has the right to issue obligations as expressly authorized in this article
and not otherwise.
(2) Before July 1, 2024, all assessments under this article 47 shall be collected by the
county treasurer of the respective counties in which said real estate is situated at the same time
and in the same manner as is provided by law for the collection of taxes for county and state
purposes, and, if said assessments are not paid, then the real estate shall be sold at the regular tax
sale for the payment of said assessments, interest, and penalties in the manner provided by the
statutes of the state of Colorado for selling property for the payment of general taxes. If there are
no bids at said tax sale for the property so offered, said property shall be struck off to the district,
and the tax certificates shall be issued in the name of the district, and the board of directors has
the same power with reference to the sale of said tax certificates as is now vested in county
commissioners and county treasurers when property is struck off to the counties.
(3) Before July 1, 2024, tax deeds may be issued, based upon said certificates of sale, in
the same manner that deeds are executed on tax sales on general state and county taxes.
(4) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, on or after July 1, 2024, the district, a
subdistrict, or a county treasurer shall follow the procedures established in article 11.5 of title 39
and shall not follow the procedures established in this section or article 11 of title 39 concerning
the sale or striking off of property to the district or the issuance of a certificate of sale or tax
deed. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, on or after July 1, 2024, a lot or parcel of land
shall not be struck off to the district and a tax certificate or tax deed shall not be issued pursuant
to this section or article 11 of title 39 to the extent such actions would be inconsistent with the
requirements of article 11.5 of title 39.
