§ 95035 District Boundary Stability Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The district's boundaries stay the same even if nearby cities grow or shrink, unless the law says otherwise.
  • •If a city adds new land that's outside the district, that new land automatically becomes part of the district.
  • •If a new city is created and part of it is outside the district, the outside part joins the district too.
  • •A city that's completely outside the district can't be forced to join—it has to agree first.

Example

A small town called Sunnyville is right next to a big district. Sunnyville grows and adds new neighborhoods that were empty land before.

Those new neighborhoods automatically become part of the district, even though they weren’t before. Now, people living there have to pay the same taxes as everyone else in the district.

§ 95035 District Boundary Stability Rules

The boundaries of the district shall not be affected by reason of the incorporation of any territory wholly or partly within the boundaries of the district, or by reason of annexation to or detachment from any city of territory wholly or partly within the boundaries of the district, except as provided in this part. Where territory outside the district is annexed to any city included in the district, said territory shall, upon the completion of such annexation proceeding, be deemed incorporated into and annexed to the district; provided that, where territory which is incorporated as a new city is partly within and partly outside the district, that territory which is outside the district shall, upon the completion of such incorporation proceeding, be deemed incorporated into and annexed to the district; and provided further that no incorporated city now lying entirely outside the boundaries of the district shall be included within the district without the consent of the legislative body of said city, and any territory annexed by such city, if such annexed territory is then within the district, shall be automatically excluded from the district, unless the legislative body of the city shall otherwise declare in its ordinance of annexation. Whenever territory is deemed incorporated into and annexed to the district pursuant to this section, such territory shall be subject to taxation, in accordance with the assessable valuation of the property thereof, for general district purposes and for the payment of any indebtedness theretofore or thereafter incurred by the district. (Added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 595.)
