                                  TITLE  31
                           COUNTIES AND COUNTY LAW
                                  CHAPTER 2

                         CHANGE OF COUNTY BOUNDARIES
    31-212.  CHANGING COUNTY BOUNDARIES. Whenever the boards of county
commissioners of affected counties have by joint ordinance provided that a
part of an affected county be stricken off from said county and annexed to an
adjoining affected county, the provisions of the constitution being complied
with, the qualified electors who have resided ninety (90) days next preceding
the first general election after the passage of this chapter within the
boundary lines of the territory stricken off and annexed, shall be permitted
to vote at said general election, for or against said annexation. If a
majority of said electors voting at said election vote in favor of annexation,
said territory is then stricken off and annexed, as provided in this chapter:
provided, that all the requirements of the constitution have been complied
with. If such annexation and change of county boundaries occur, the
legislature, at its next regular session, shall redefine the boundaries of the
affected counties as set forth in the Idaho Code to conform therewith. The
county recorder of the county from which the territory is to be detached may
have clearly reproduced by photographing or filming in accordance with the
provisions of sections 9-328, 9-329 and 9-330, into permanent records, all
instruments, papers and other matters and things relating to or affecting real
property in the territory being detached and annexed. When the costs have been
determined for the transcribing and indexing of all instruments, documents,
records, maps, papers, and all other matters relating to or affecting the
property in the territory to be annexed which must be transferred to the
annexing county, and the copying and preparing for transfer of all pleadings,
court records, and other papers in all court actions and court proceedings to
be transferred to annexing county, the board of county commissioners of the
county annexing the detached territory shall cause county warrants to be drawn
to pay all such costs; said warrants so drawn shall be paid by a tax to be
assessed upon all property within the territory being annexed.
