When a district is dissolved, any property it owned in areas outside of city limits becomes the county's property. If the property is located inside a city, it becomes the city's property.
Upon dissolution, any property in unincorporated territory which may have been acquired by the district shall vest in the county, and any property within the boundaries of an incorporated city shall vest in the city.

Section § 26242
This law says that if a district is dissolved while it still has unpaid bonds, the district will no longer operate except to collect taxes to pay off those bonds. The county's board of supervisors takes over as the district's commission to manage the debt repayment until everything is paid off, including interest. They are responsible for collecting taxes and any other necessary actions to clear the district's debts.
If at the time of the election to dissolve the district there is outstanding any bonded indebtedness of the district, the vote to dissolve shall dissolve the district for all purposes except the levy and collection of taxes for the payment of that outstanding indebtedness.
From the time of dissolution until the bonded indebtedness together with the interest thereon is fully paid, the board of supervisors of the county shall constitute ex officio the boulevard commission of the district, and shall levy such taxes and perform such other acts as may be necessary to raise money for the payment of the outstanding indebtedness of the district.
