Section § 56110

Explanation

Every year, at least 15 days before the county board of supervisors sets the county tax amount, the district board must provide them with a statement. This statement should include the amount needed to cover bond interest for the year and any principal payments that are due before the next general tax is decided.

Annually, at least 15 days before the first day of the month in which the board of supervisors of the county in which the district is located is required by law to levy the amount of taxes required by law for county purposes, the district board shall furnish to the board of supervisors a written statement of the amount necessary to pay the interest on bonds for that year, and the portion of the principal that is to become due before the time for making the next general tax levy.

Section § 56111

Explanation

This law requires the county's board of supervisors to collect a tax on real estate within a specific district each year, similar to other county taxes. The amount of the tax must be enough to cover that year's bond interest and any part of the bond principal due before the next year's tax collection.

The board of supervisors of the county shall annually, at the time and in the manner of levying other county taxes, levy and cause to be collected a tax upon the taxable real property in the district, based upon the last equalized assessment roll of the county sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds for that year and such portion of the principal as is to become due before the time for making the next general tax levy.

Section § 56112

Explanation

If a district board does not provide the county's board of supervisors with a written statement of the funds needed, the county's board of supervisors must determine how much is needed to pay the year's bond interest and any principal on the bonds due before the next tax levy. They will then collect the necessary funds.

If the district board fails to furnish to the board of supervisors the written statement of the amount necessary, the board of supervisors of the county shall ascertain the amount necessary to pay the interest on the bonds for that year and the portion of the principal that is to become due before the time for making the next general tax levy, and shall levy and cause to be collected the necessary amount.

Section § 56113

Explanation

This law explains that a specific tax is collected alongside and in the same way as the general county taxes. Once the tax is collected, it is deposited into the county's treasury for the district's benefit. The funds must be used exclusively to pay back the principal and interest on bonds issued by the district.

The tax shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as the general tax levy for county purposes, and when collected shall be paid into the treasury of the county to the credit of the district, and shall be used for the payment of the principal and interest upon the bonds, and for no other purpose.

Section § 56114

Explanation

This law states that the county treasurer is responsible for paying the principal and interest on bonds, using the same legal methods that are currently used or will be established in the future for paying off the county's own bonds.

The principal and interest on the bonds shall be paid by the treasurer of the county in the manner now or hereafter provided by law for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds of the county.

Section § 56115

Explanation

This law explains that a district board has the option to send a written request to the county board of supervisors each year, 15 days before the county starts its tax levy process. This request should state the amount of money needed to maintain and operate any work or improvements within the district, as well as cover other expenses related to the district's functions. The county board will then include this amount in the county's tax levy, collecting it as a property tax. However, the tax cannot exceed 25 cents for every $100 of the property's assessed value each year.

In any year, at least 15 days before the first day of the month in which the board of supervisors of the county in which the district is located, is required by law to levy the amount of taxes required by law for county purposes, the district board may furnish to the board of supervisors a written statement of the amount necessary to maintain, operate, extend, or repair any work or improvements of the district, and to defray all other expenses incidental to the exercise of any of the district’s powers, and the board of supervisors of the county shall at the time and in the manner of levying other county taxes, levy and cause to be collected a tax upon the taxable real property in the district based upon the last equalized assessment roll of the county sufficient to pay the cost of maintaining, operating, extending, or repairing any work or improvements of the district and of defraying all other expenses incidental to the exercise of any of the district’s powers. The tax authorized by this section shall not exceed twenty-five cents ($0.25) for each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value on taxable real property in any one year.

Section § 56116

Explanation

This law explains how a certain tax is to be collected and used. It says the tax will be collected at the same time and in the same way as the county's general taxes. The money from this tax will go into the county's treasury but specifically credited to the district's operating fund, and the district board will decide how to spend it.

The tax shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as the general tax levy for county purposes, and the revenue derived from the tax shall be paid into the county treasury to the credit of the operating fund of the district, and the district board shall control and order its expenditure.

Section § 56117

Explanation

This section explains how payments from a water district's operating fund are handled. The district board must approve all claims for payment. If someone has a claim for money or damages against the district, it usually follows specific rules outlined in the Government Code. However, if those rules don't apply, the claim should be presented directly to the board. All claims will be reviewed and paid similarly to how counties handle their claims.

Payment from the operating fund shall be made upon claims allowed by the district board. Claims for money or damages against the district are governed by the provisions of Part 3 (commencing with Section 900) and Part 4 (commencing with Section 940) of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code, except as provided therein. Claims not governed thereby or by other statutes or by ordinances or regulations authorized by law and expressly applicable to such claims, shall be prepared and presented to the board and all claims shall be audited and paid, in the same manner and with the same effect as are similar claims against the county.

Section § 56118

Explanation

This law states that the expenses related to creating an engineer's report, including payments to engineers and district staff, must be paid by the district using the first funds it has available.

The cost of preparing the engineer’s report, including the compensation paid engineers and other employees of the district, is a charge against the district and shall be paid from the first available funds of the district.
