11-28.3-17. Discharge of financial obligations
1. The territory to be withdrawn, exempted, or dissolved from the district under this
chapter remains subject to and chargeable for the payment and discharge of the
proportion of obligations outstanding at the time of the withdrawal, exemption, or
dissolution. The taxable valuation of property in the territory to be withdrawn, exempt,
or dissolved bears to the taxable valuation of all property within the district before the
withdrawal, exemption, or dissolution.
2. Mill levies imposed under section 11-28.3-09 remain in effect until the proportionate
share of outstanding obligations are paid.
3. The board or boards of county commissioners, at a regular meeting, shall compute the
indebtedness proportionately assignable to the territory sought to be withdrawn,
exempted, or dissolved, and shall describe, by written order, the boundaries of the
territory withdrawn, exempted, or dissolved and the indebtedness of the district
assigned to the territory and subject to continued levy under section 11-28.3-09. The
order and computation must be filed in the office of the county auditor.
4. The annual estimate required under section 11-28.3-09 must reflect the annual
expense of retiring principal and interest upon the proportionate share of district
indebtedness assigned to the withdrawn, exempted, or dissolved territory.
