A district can be dissolved by the board following the rules in this chapter.

This law allows people in a district to start the process of dissolving the district. To do this, at least 50 people who own property and live there must sign a petition. If there are fewer than 100 property owners and residents, more than half of them need to sign. Alternatively, the district's board can also start the dissolution process on its own by passing a resolution.

When a board gets a request to dissolve or decides to start the process themselves, they must set a date for a hearing. This hearing should occur between 15 and 30 days after the request or decision is made.

This law requires that the board must announce a hearing by publishing a notice in a local newspaper at least ten days before the hearing date. The purpose is to inform district residents about the hearing in advance.

This law states that during a scheduled hearing, or a rescheduled one, a board will review a petition or resolution about a proposed dissolution (likely of an organization or entity) and decide whether to approve or deny it. Once the board makes a decision, it cannot be appealed or changed.

If a district is dissolved, it will officially cease to exist once the board decides. However, any property the district owned becomes county property. If the district still owes money when dissolved, it will continue only for the purpose of collecting taxes to pay off those debts. Until the debt is cleared, the county's board of supervisors will manage this process, ensuring taxes are collected and payments made.

This law states that if a district becomes part of one or more cities due to annexation or incorporation, any funds in the county treasury meant for the district must be transferred to the board, as outlined in related rules.

If a district is entirely located within a single city, the district's fund should be given to that city's treasurer. The city's governing body will then manage this fund.

This law explains how funds are distributed when a district is divided among multiple cities. If parts of a district are incorporated into different cities, funds are split based on the assessed property values of each city’s portion before the division.

This section explains that any money transferred from a district to a city must be managed by the city's government. The funds should be used to benefit the parts of the district within the city and specifically for running and maintaining sewers that were previously the district's responsibility.

This law says that if a city completely includes all the areas of a particular district, then that district is automatically dissolved.

This law explains what happens when a part of a district becomes part of a city, either through annexation or incorporation. The territory that is now part of the city will still be considered part of the district until the city asks for it to be excluded by sending a resolution to the district's board.

Once the board receives the resolution, the territory will be formally excluded from the district. However, this exclusion only takes effect after any contracts the district has in that area are either expired, modified, or canceled, ensuring the district is no longer responsible for future maintenance there.

This law states that if a sewer maintenance district becomes part of a larger sanitary district, the sewer maintenance district will be dissolved. To make this official, a resolution must be filed with the Secretary of State. This resolution should come from the sanitary district's board and need approval from the county's board of supervisors.

After the sewer district dissolves, any property or money it has will be transferred to the sanitary district. The sanitary district will also take on any responsibilities or debts the sewer district had at the time it dissolved.
