Text

The district has no power of taxation, or of levying assessments for special benefits. No governmental authority may levy or collect taxes or assessments for the purpose of paying, in whole or in part, any indebtedness or obligation of or incurred by the district as such or upon which the district may be or become in any manner liable. No privately owned property within or outside the district, nor the owner of the property, and no municipality, county, irrigation district, or other political subdivision or public or private corporation or association or its property, is directly or indirectly liable for any such district indebtedness or obligation beyond the liability to perform any express contract, if any, between the owner or public or private organization and the district.
