- Levy limitations.
1. Upon the filing with the county auditor at least sixty-four days before the date of a
general election of a petition to authorize or discontinue a tax levy for extension work,
containing the names of twenty percent of the qualified electors of the county as
determined by the votes cast for governor in the county in the most recent
gubernatorial election, the board of county commissioners shall submit to the qualified
electors at the next general election the question of authorizing or discontinuing a tax
levy for extension work. Upon approval by a majority of qualified electors of the county
voting on the question of authorizing a tax levy for extension work, the board of county
commissioners may levy a tax of up to two mills as provided in subsection 2 of section
57-15-06.7. Upon approval by a majority of qualified electors of the county voting on
the question of discontinuing a tax levy for extension work, the board of county
commissioners shall terminate any levy or additional levy previously authorized under
this chapter and may terminate county expenditures for extension work.
2. The board of county commissioners may submit to the electors at a primary or general
election the question of approval of voter-approved additional levy authority for
extension work for a period not exceeding ten years and if approved by a majority of
the electors voting on the question, the board of county commissioners may levy an
additional tax not exceeding the limitation in subsection 2 of section 57-15-06.7.
Voter-approved additional levy authority authorized by electors of a county before
January 1, 2015, remains in effect through taxable year 2024 or for the time period
authorized by the electors, whichever expires first. After January 1, 2015, approval or
reauthorization by electors of voter-approved additional levy authority under this
section may not be effective for more than ten taxable years.
3. The board of county commissioners may appropriate funds out of the county general
fund to cover any unanticipated deficiency in funding for extension work. All funds
raised by levies under this chapter must be appropriated by the board of county
commissioners for the purposes set forth in this chapter.
