2012 Mississippi Code
Title 21 - Municipalities
Chapter 43 - Business Improvement Districts
Business Improvement Districts Act (§§ 21-43-101 - 21-43-133)
§ 21-43-131. Duration of initial authorization of district; requirements and procedure for reauthorization

MS Code § 21-43-131 (2012) What's This?

The initial authorization for any business improvement district shall be for ten (10) years. During the last twelve (12) months of the tenth year of the authorization, a new district plan must be developed which meets all of the initial requirements of the district plan plus reauthorizes the district for another ten (10) years. Reauthorization requires the same approval process as initial establishment and authorization of the district. Should the district fail to receive reauthorization from the affected property owners in the district, the business improvement district will cease to exist at the conclusion of the most recently approved ten-year period or as soon thereafter as any outstanding indebtedness is satisfied. The ability to reauthorize rests solely with the affected property owners in the district.
