11-06-07. Debts of transferred territory - Payment to county from which transferred
Territory transferred under the provisions of this chapter shall not be released from the
payment of its proportion of the debts of the county from which it was transferred. Such
proportion shall be collected by the county to which the territory is transferred at an equal or
greater rate than is levied and collected in the county from which the territory was transferred,
such rate to be ascertained by the certificate of the county auditor of the county from which the
territory was transferred. When the funds for the payment of such indebtedness are collected,
such funds shall be paid over to the county entitled thereto. When the county to which territory is
transferred is indebted, the board of county commissioners of such county shall release the
transferred territory from the payment of such indebtedness to an amount equal to that which
the territory is required to pay to the county from which it was transferred.
