  • •If not, they can take your property out of the tax area.
  • •The board can change the boundaries of the tax area if they think it's needed.

Example

A farmer's land is included in a new tax area for better roads, but his land is far from the roads and he doesn't think he should pay the tax.

The farmer can ask the board to take his land out of the tax area. If the board agrees that his land won't benefit from the better roads, they can exclude his land from the tax area.
