§ 115-4-9. Renewal of local districts.

(a)

Local districts may be renewed by the adoption by the Board of Supervisors of a district ordinance as described in Section 115-4-8.

(b)

No land may be included in a renewed district without the written approval of all the owners of such land. Notice of such approval shall be given by the completion, signing and submission of an application as provided in Article 8 of this Chapter. Such application should be submitted at least six (6) months before the expiration date of the existing district which is to be considered for renewal, but in no case shall it be submitted later than sixty (60) days before such expiration date.

(c)

When a renewal application has been submitted and accepted, the procedures outlined in Article 4 of this Chapter shall be used to review such application.

(d)

If no renewal application is submitted and accepted by the deadline required in Section 115-4-9(b), the district shall not be renewed; however, owners formerly in a district may reapply pursuant to Section 115-3-1 at any time.

(e)

If a renewal application signed by all owners of parcels proposed for inclusion in a renewed district is submitted and accepted by the deadline required in Section 115-4-9(b), but the Board of Supervisors fails to act on the application by the expiration date of the district, such district, including only those parcels proposed for renewal, shall continue; and all provisions of the district ordinance and this Chapter shall apply until such time as the Board of Supervisors makes its decision whether or not to renew the district as proposed.

(f)

If a district is not renewed, the lands that were formerly in the district shall no longer be restricted in use as required by the district ordinance, shall no longer qualify for an agricultural or forestal value assessment, nor shall other provisions of the district ordinance any longer apply to such lands.
