§ 16155 Minor District Annexation Exemption

Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

If a piece of land moved from one district to another is worth less than 5% of the original district’s total value, the law pretends the move never happened for certain rules.

Key Takeaways

•Only the value of the moved piece matters, not its size.
•If the moved piece is under 5% of the original district’s assessed value, it’s ignored for Sections 16154 and 16156.
•The rule applies on the date the annexation or inclusion becomes effective.

Example

A small neighborhood worth $2 million is transferred from District A (which is worth $100 million) to District B.

Because $2 million is only 2% of District A’s total value, the law says this transfer doesn’t count for the rules in Sections 16154 and 16156, as if the neighborhood never changed districts.
