19-27a05. Notice; hearing; district extending into city limits. (a) Prior to the creation of a sewer district, the board of county commissioners shall publish a notice stating: (1) Its intent to create a sewer district; (2) a description of the area of the proposed district or the property within the boundaries in sufficient detail to advise the landowners within the proposed district of the proposal; and (3) the date and location of a public hearing to be held to consider the creation of the sewer district and to hear objections thereto. The notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. Notice of the hearing also shall be mailed by prepaid first class mail, at least 14 days prior to the date of the hearing, to all landowners within the proposed district. The failure of any landowner to receive notice shall not invalidate creation of the district or any apportionment of costs therefor. Notice need not be given when a petition requesting the creation of a district is signed by 100% of the landowners subject to assessment in a proposed district.
(b) The board of county commissioners shall not create any sewer district within or extend any sewer district into the limits of any incorporated city without the consent of the governing body of the city.
