Section 57-15-30.1 - Tax levy for township debt or debt existing upon dissolution - Duty of county auditor - Duty of county treasurer1. Whenever any township is indebted to the county in which such township is located and such debt is more than one year past due, the county auditor, upon resolution of the board of county commissioners, shall levy a tax on the property within the township in an amount sufficient to pay the indebtedness, but in no case may the amount of the levy cause the total levy for such township to exceed the maximum levy limitations, including excess levy limitations, provided by law. The county treasurer shall place the taxes collected to the credit of the county in payment or partial payment of the township's indebtedness.2. Upon the dissolution of a civil township, the board of county commissioners of the county in which the township lies shall attach the territory embraced within such township to such assessment district of the county as the board may deem advisable for the purpose of assessment and taxation. In addition to the other levies provided by law, the board shall levy on the taxable property in the township a sum sufficient to discharge all debts and liabilities of the township. The county auditor shall enter the levy on the county tax list to be collected by the county treasurer as other county taxes are collected. The county treasurer shall credit the money derived from such levy to a special fund to be used to pay the dissolved township's debts and liabilities. Any balance remaining in the special fund after the payment of the debts and liabilities must be transferred for use for road and bridge purposes within the assessment district to which the territory is attached.Amended by S.L. 2015, ch. 439 (SB 2144),§ 87, eff. 1/1/2015.
