Special District Act

Colorado · Special Districts · §§ 32-1-1001 to 32-1-915 · 137 sections

Overview

The Special District Act governs the formation and operation of special districts in Colorado — local government entities organized to provide services such as fire protection, health services, ambulance service, parks and recreation, water, sanitation, and tunnels, along with metropolitan districts combining multiple services. It sets out how such districts are established, defines their service areas, and prescribes procedures for organization, dissolution, name and boundary changes, elections, and public notice, including the correction of faulty notices and the validation of districts and their boundaries. The act also grants districts financial powers — authority to incur debt, issue and refund bonds subject to stated limitations, levy taxes collected by county officers with sales for delinquencies, and create special improvement districts within their boundaries — alongside audit, budget, and taxpayer disclosure requirements.
