Page 1 of 1 67C.145 Service districts -- Taxes -- Alteration of service districts and change of boundaries. The territory of a consolidated local government may, as permitted by Section 172A of <br>the Constitution of Kentucky, be divided into service districts. Each service district shall <br>constitute a separate tax district within which the consolidated local government may, <br>upon receipt of a petition signed by a majority of the registered voters in the district as of <br>the last general election, levy and collect taxes in accordance with the kind, type, and <br>character of the services provided by the consolidated local government in each of these <br>service districts. A consolidated local government may abolish or alter service districts, <br>but any expansion of the boundaries of a service district shall require a petition signed by <br>a majority of the registered voters, as of the last election, in the new territory to be <br>included in the service district. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, a consolidated <br>local government may not create or change the boundaries of a service district if that <br>change would adversely affect the powers or functions of any city, existing taxing district, <br>fire protection district, water district, or any other special taxing or service district of any <br>kind which was in existence on the date the consolidated local government became <br>effective unless such entity consents by resolution adopted by its governing body. Effective: July 15, 2002 <br>History: Created 2002 Ky. Acts ch. 346, sec. 4, effective July 15, 2002.
