dissolution of the district may be initiated by filing in the office of the clerk of the

After hearing any protests against or objections to dissolution and if the governing
body determines that it is for the best interests of all concerned to dissolve the
district, it shall so provide by an effective ordinance, a certified copy of which shall
be filed in the office of the county clerk and recorder in each of the counties in
which the district or any part thereof is located. Upon such filing, the dissolution

paid in full all of its outstanding indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or until
funds are on deposit and available therefor. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this section, upon petition of persons who own real or personal property in the
service area of the proposed district having a valuation for assessment of not less
than fifty percent, or such greater amount as the governing body may provide by
ordinance, of the valuation for assessment of all real and personal property in the
service area of the proposed district and who own at least fifty percent, or such
greater amount as the governing body may provide by ordinance, of the acreage in
the proposed district, the district shall be prohibited from incurring any new or
increased financial obligations, shall impose its existing taxes, fees, and
assessments solely to meet any existing financial obligations, and shall be
dissolved as soon as the district has no outstanding financial obligations.
