This law explains how new areas can join a county sanitation district. Areas that aren't already part of a similar district, or where the current district isn't providing similar services, can be annexed if it's determined they will benefit. The land doesn't have to be next to the sanitation district if it's in the same county, but it must be next to it if in a different county.

This law says that if there is a district with a waste management system already in place, any new area added to the district will automatically be included in that waste management system. However, the district board can decide not to include the new area if they specifically find that the area won't benefit from being part of the system.

This law explains that if a piece of property is next to a sanitation district but located in a different county from where the district was formed, it can still be added to that sanitation district and to any improvement district within it.

When a territory in one county is added to a district that is partly in another county, it becomes part of that district. The county supervisors of the annexing territory choose one of their members to join the district's board of directors. All rules made by the district's board apply in every part of the district, no matter which county the property is in.

This law states that if a small piece of land, less than 50 acres, in a different county is added to the Selma-Kingsburg-Fowler County Sanitation District, and the county where the land is located agrees to it, then no members of that county's board of supervisors can join the sanitation district's board of directors.

This law outlines the process for collecting and distributing taxes for a district that spans multiple counties. First, the district's board of directors must estimate the money needed for operation, maintenance, and bond payments before the county sets its general tax levy. They then divide this total based on property values in each county involved.

Next, this divided estimate is certified to the supervisors of each involved county. Each county's supervisors must then levy a tax on properties within the district areas in their county to meet this estimate. Collected taxes are deposited in the county treasury of the original district.

The county treasurer, where annexed areas exist, settles with the district board and transfers collected money to the district's fund repository no more than twice a year, ensuring the district receives its funds as needed.

If a piece of land is already part of a county sanitation district, it can be added to a specific improvement area within that district. The process for doing this is outlined in the related sections 4835 to 4839. Once annexed, this land will share both the responsibilities and benefits of the improvement area it joins.

The district board is required to start a process to annex a new area, and they need to pass a resolution to do so. This resolution must include a description of the area's boundaries, a statement that explains how the area will benefit from joining, and a schedule for a public hearing. The hearing should be held between 15 and 60 days after the resolution is passed. Anyone who wants to oppose the annexation should submit a written protest, with their signature and address, to the district clerk before the hearing begins.

Before a hearing about adding new land to a district, the clerk must inform all landowners involved. This is done by sending them a notice and also publishing this notice in a local newspaper that everyone reads, at least twice. The notices must be sent and published between 10 and 30 days before the hearing date.

If over 50% of the land's assessed value within an area files official written protests against a proposed annexation before the end of a hearing, then the annexation must be stopped by the district board.

During a hearing about a proposed annexation, anyone interested can present evidence and speak for or against it. Those who have filed written protests can take them back before the hearing ends.

If most people haven't filed protests, the district board must decide within 30 days of the hearing's end. They can either reject the annexation, approve it, or approve it but leave out areas that won't benefit from joining.

This section explains that when a district board approves adding land to an improvement district, it must document the new boundaries in a certified resolution and map. These documents are then filed with certain government agencies. Once filed, the annexation becomes official and effective.
