Text

The permit fee shall be entered in the minutes of the board of supervisors who shall advise the board of directors of the district of the fee per acre required for the issuance of a permit. The board of directors shall collect this fee from the applicant for a permit to grow cotton in the district. The fees shall be paid into the county treasury for the use of the district. The board of directors may provide for the method and time of payment of the fees which may be monthly, quarterly, or as otherwise determined to be reasonable. The board of directors may provide for the refund of fees, or appropriate part thereof,
collected from growers who have not grown any cotton or have grown less than that for which they have a permit, insofar as such a refund would not adversely affect the programs being conducted by the district.
The board of directors shall, at the close of the district’s fiscal year, refund any money not required for continuing programs that remains in the district fund on a pro rata basis to the persons from whom the fees being refunded were collected.
The board of directors shall pay the county or counties in which it is located the costs of county services performed at the request of the district. The district shall also reimburse the county or counties for services performed pursuant to Sections 6053, 6054, 6056, 6057, 6058, 6059, 6060, 6070, 6076, 6077, and 6081.
Petitioners for the formation of a cotton pest abatement district shall be assessed a fee by the commissioner in the
amount necessary to cover any costs incurred as a result of duties performed by the commissioner under this chapter which are preparatory to the formation of a district if a district is not formed.
