Any funds of the district at the time of dissolution shall be transferred to the incorporated city or town and to the county in proportion to the assessed valuation of taxable real property within the city or town and within the county, respectively, as it appears on the current assessment roll.

If the district is located in more than one county, apportionment of indebtedness and interest thereon and any levy and collection of taxes to meet this indebtedness shall be performed as set forth in section 48-2220, subsection E.
