Tax levies
Official statutory text
A water development district board of directors may levy taxes, not to exceed thirty cents per thousand dollars of taxable valuation in the district, for the purposes of chapters 46A-1 , 46A-2 , and 46A-3A to 46A-3E , inclusive. If an area is included in more than one district, the tax levy payable to each of the water development districts is determined by multiplying the greater of the overlapping water development districts' levies by each water development district's taxing fraction. Each district's taxing fraction is determined by dividing that district's proposed tax levy for the overlapped area by the sum of all water development districts' levies for the overlapped area.
