§ 6210 District Formation Petition Requirements

• •To start forming a special district (like for farming), a petition is needed.
• •The petition must be signed by either: 50% of growers who own 65% of the land, OR 65% of growers who own 50% of the land.
• •The petition must be given to the county's board of supervisors.

A group of farmers wants to create a special district to manage water for their crops.

They need to get enough farmers to sign a petition. If 10 farmers own land in the area, at least 5 of them (who own 65% of the land) must sign, OR at least 7 of them (who own 50% of the land) must sign. Then they give the petition to the county officials.
