KRS 267.540: Enlargement of district.

Any drainage district organized under the provisions of this chapter may be enlarged and

the boundaries extended so as to include other contiguous land, in the manner set forth in

this section. The board may present a petition to the county judge/executive who

organized the district, asking that the boundaries of the district be extended and such

outlying land be included in the district, particularly describing the land and giving the

name of the owner. When such petition is filed, the owner of any land to be included in

the district shall be brought before the county judge/executive in the same manner as an

original party to the proceeding, with the same right to protest against the proposed action

or file exceptions thereto. If no objection is made to the petition, the county

judge/executive shall order the land included and the boundaries enlarged or extended as

prayed. If any objection is made, the county judge/executive shall hear the objection and

shall order all or any part of the land included as app ears just, and the boundaries shall be

ordered changed accordingly. The land so included shall be subject to all dues,

assessments and liabilities and entitled to all the benefits and privileges of the district the

same as the land originally incorporated. The owner of any land contiguous to any such

district may by petition to the county judge/executive and with the consent of the board

have his land annexed to the district on such terms as the county judge/executive may

deem just, and thereafter his land shall be part of the district the same as the other land in

the district.
