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

After dissolution of a district, if it appears that any indebtedness remains unpaid, the board of supervisors of the county in which the district was located shall levy a tax on the real property in the district sufficient to pay the indebtedness and interest on the indebtedness and shall pay the indebtedness and interest from the proceeds of the tax.
