Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. A county assessor may request that the
governing body of a city realign one or more of the boundary lines between the
city and the unincorporated area of the county or between two cities to adjust
a boundary that bisects a parcel of land causing the creation of more than one
tax parcel from a single legal parcel. Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, the governing body may, by ordinance or other appropriate legal action,
with the consent of the board of county commissioners or the governing body of
the other city, respectively, adjust the boundary to exclude the portion of the
split parcel from the city.
2. Where any territory is detached from a
city as provided in this section, provision must be made for such proportion of
any outstanding general obligations of the city as the assessed valuation of
property in the territory bears to the total assessed valuation of property in
the city and for such proportion of any obligations secured by the pledge of
revenues from a public improvement as the revenue arising within the territory
bears to the total revenue from such improvement as follows:
(a) If the territory is included in another city,
the proportionate obligation must be assumed according to its terms by the
annexing city;
(b) If the territory is included in the unincorporated
area of the county, taxes must be levied by the board of county commissioners
upon all taxable property in the district, sufficient to discharge the
proportionate share of the debt for the general obligation according to its
terms; or
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, where substantially all of the physical improvements for which the
obligation was incurred are within the territory remaining in the city, with
the consent of the governing body of the city from which such territory is
detached and of the holders of such obligations, the entire obligation may be
assumed by the city from which such territory is detached and the detached
territory released therefrom. The consent of the holders of such obligations is
not required if the total assessed value of the territory that is detached from
the city on or after July 1, 2003, is not in excess of 0.01 percent of the
assessed value of the city at the time the territory is detached.
