     276A.09 Change in status of municipality. 


    If a municipality is dissolved, is consolidated with all or 
 part of another municipality, annexes territory, has a portion 
 of its territory detached from it, or is newly incorporated, the 
 secretary of state shall immediately certify that fact to the 
 commissioner of revenue.  The secretary of state shall also 
 certify to the commissioner of revenue the current population of 
 the new, enlarged, or successor municipality, if determined by 
 the director of the Office of Strategic and Long-Range Planning 
 incident to consolidation, annexation, or incorporation 
 proceedings.  The population so certified shall govern for 
 purposes of sections 276A.01 to 276A.09 until the state 
 demographer files the first population estimate as of a later 
 date with the commissioner of revenue.  If an annexation of 
 unincorporated land occurs without proceedings before the 
 director of the Office of Strategic and Long-Range Planning, the 
 population of the annexing municipality as previously determined 
 shall continue to govern for purposes of sections 276A.01 to 
 276A.09 until the state demographer files the first population 
 estimate as of a later date with the commissioner of revenue.
