Clarifying the number of landowners needed on petitions to merge minor irrigation districts into other special purpose districts.

Summary

  • When title to property in the district is held in any form of joint owner­ship, including that of husband and wife as owners of community property, all joint landowners are considered to be one landowner for purposes of determining the number of landowners needed to initiate the merger petition. Any one of the co-owners of jointly owned property may sign the petition requesting merger.
