                                  TITLE  43
                             IRRIGATION DISTRICTS
                                  CHAPTER 7
                      LEVY AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS
    43-701B.  FLAT RATE ASSESSMENTS FOR TRACTS OF ONE ACRE OR LESS.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 43-701, Idaho Code, whenever the
cost of making and collecting assessments against residential tracts, one (1)
acre or less in size, is determined by the board of directors to be burdensome
on the district and on the owners of such lots, the board may assess all such
tracts at a flat rate, to be determined by dividing the total amount
assessable against all such tracts by the total number of such tracts, and the
flat rate assessments thus determined may be certified to the county officers
as specified in section 43-701C, Idaho Code, for collection or may be
collected by the district in substantially the same manner that other
assessments are collected pursuant to this chapter. The board, in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion, may establish the maximum lot size for
flat rate assessments at any size within the range between one-fourth (1/4)
acre and one (1) acre. Tracts included or retained in an irrigation district
for drainage purposes only shall be assessed only for drainage costs and may
be certified to the county officers on a separate list. The board may, in its
discretion, exclude from the flat rate assessment procedure any tracts upon
which liens for construction costs exist under the provisions of sections
43-328 through and including 43-330, Idaho Code.
