2870.  The district board shall annually before July 10 prepare a
written estimate of the amount of money necessary for the purposes of

property tax revenue pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section
95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

that the property shall be taxed on the basis of area, the rate shall
be based on area of land, regardless of assessed valuation.
   (b) If the petition for formation of the district states that
property shall be taxed on the basis of a combination of area and
some other basis, the district board shall, after a public hearing,
determine the proportion of each source of revenue, and may consider
zones of benefit or other equitable methods of establishing the rate
to be charged based on area.
   (c) The county assessor of each county shall prepare an assessment
roll showing the names and addresses and the acreage owned by each
person owning land within a district, which roll shall be the basis
for the tax provided for in this section.



2871.7.  After a public hearing, the district board shall determine
the rate of the tax.



2871.8.  (a) Whenever it appears to the district board that the

to Article 3.5 (commencing with Section 50075) of Chapter 1 of Part
1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
   (b) Notice of the election shall be published for at least four

   (d) At the election the ballots shall contain the words "Shall the
district vote a tax to raise the additional sum of ____  " or words
equivalent thereto.
   (e) The district board shall canvass the votes cast at the
election, and, if two-thirds of the votes cast are in favor of the
imposition of the tax, shall report the result to the board of
supervisors of the county in which the district is situated, stating
the additional amount of money required to be raised. If the district
is in more than one county, the additional amount shall be prorated

district's original total estimate of funds is prorated. The district
board shall furnish the board of supervisors and auditor of each
county a written statement of the apportionment for each county.




2871.9.  Any district formed prior to January 1, 1985, may petition
the board of supervisors for a change in the method of financing the

the method of district financing consistent with Article 2
(commencing with Section 2210) of Chapter 5.

directing the treasurer to make the transfer. It shall not exceed
eighty-five per cent of the taxes accruing to the district, and shall
not be made prior to the first day of the fiscal year nor after the
last Monday in April of the current fiscal year. Any funds
transferred shall be replaced from the taxes accruing to the district
before any other obligation of the district is met from those taxes.




2876.  Notwithstanding the basis upon which property in the district
is taxed, if a district is organized in any year too late for the
levy of a tax in that year or in the next ensuing year, the board of
supervisors is authorized to transfer funds of the county not
immediately needed for county purposes to the district fund to be
used for the payment of the expenses of the district until the
district's special assessment tax receipts are available to it. The
board of supervisors shall include, in the levy of taxes for the
district for the first fiscal year in which a tax may be levied, a
sum sufficient to repay to the county the amounts transferred to the
district for the portion or portions of the preceding fiscal year or
years for which no levy of taxes was made for that purpose. The
amounts transferred shall be retransferred to the county treasury
from the district fund out of the first available receipts from the
tax levy.
