Flood Control District Act
New Mexico · Water Law · §§ 72-18-1 to 72-18-9 · 72 sections
Overview
Flood control districts are established under this act as special-purpose local government entities, formed through a petition and court decree together with an organizational election, and governed by an elected board of directors. The act sets the board's composition, terms, vacancies, meetings, compensation, and restrictions on directors' interests in district contracts and property, and it confers administrative and substantive powers to carry out flood control functions, including authority to levy and collect property taxes, hold a reserve fund, and pursue delinquent taxes. It further provides for changes in a district's territory through inclusion of additional property, exclusion, and boundary adjustments, allocates liability for property added or removed, addresses the district's relationship with other public bodies and functions exercised beyond its boundaries, and prescribes a dissolution process by application, notice, hearing, and election, including the disposition of any remaining funds.
