• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 30: Government
• Art.: Public Improvements

Text

(1)
The boundaries of any district organized under the provisions of this part 5 may be
changed in the manner prescribed in this section, but the change of boundaries of
the district shall not impair or affect its organization or its rights in or to property, or
any of its rights or privileges whatsoever; nor shall it affect, impair, or discharge any
contract, obligation, lien, or charge for or upon which it might be liable or
chargeable had any such change of boundaries not been made. The owners of
property proposed to be included or excluded may file with the board a petition, in
writing, praying that such property be included in or excluded from the district. The
petition shall describe the property owned by the petitioners and shall be verified.
The petition shall be accompanied by a deposit of money sufficient to pay all costs
of the inclusion or exclusion proceedings. The secretary of the board shall cause
notice of filing of such petition to be given and published, which notice shall state
the filing of such petition, names of petitioners, and descriptions of property sought
to be included or excluded, and the prayer of said petitioners.

(2) Such notice shall state that all persons having objections to the petition
may appear in the office of the board at the time set in said notice, and show cause
why the petition should not be granted. The board, at the time and place set in the
notice, or at such times to which the hearing may be adjourned, shall proceed to
hear the petition and all objections thereto. The failure of any person interested to
show cause shall be deemed an assent on his part to the inclusion or exclusion of
such property as prayed for in the petition. If the petition is granted, the board shall
adopt a resolution to that effect and file a certified copy of same with the county
clerk and recorder of the county in which the property is located. Thereupon said
property shall be included or excluded from the district.
