48-1517. Inclusion or exclusion of lands;
procedure; costs
A. For the purpose of determining the permanent inclusion of additional lands
within the district or excluding lands from the district, petitions by the owners of
lands may be filed with the board of directors.
B. The petitions shall give a description of the lands to be affected, stating the
action desired and the reason for the action, and they shall be sworn to by
petitioners. At the time of filing the petitions there shall be paid to the secretary an
amount sufficient to cover the estimated expenses of publishing the notice and the
hearing.
C. When petitions are presented requesting the inclusion of lands, the board of
directors shall require as a condition precedent to granting the petitions that
petitioners severally pay to the district the respective sums, as nearly as estimated by
the board, as the petitioners or their grantors would have been required to pay to the
district as taxes for the payment of their pro rata share of the gross amount of all
taxes thereon which may have been previously levied for district purposes, except for
maintenance and upkeep.
