Stat. tit. 11, § 11-39-105","heading":"Assessments against property wholly within, partly","body":"within or wholly without or partly without boundary of city levying\n\nassessment - Contracts for improvements.\n\nA. Whenever the boundary of a city is upon or along any street\n\nwhich at that point lies wholly within, partly within or partly\n\nwithout or wholly outside of its boundary, but contiguous to the\n\nboundary of the city, the governing body of such city may include\n\nthe street in the district, improve that portion of such street and\n\nassess a part of the cost thereof against the abutting property\n\nlying on both sides of such street. Provided, however, if such\n\nstreet is wholly or partly within the boundary of another city, the\n\ngoverning body of such other city shall, by resolution, consent to\n\nthe improvement and give its consent to assessment of the benefited\n\nproperty.\n\nB. If, within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the\n\nordinance levying the assessment by the city creating the district,\n\nthe governing body of the city in which the property is situated\n\ndoes not, by resolution, consent or ratify the assessments, the\n\ngoverning body of the city creating the district may:\n\n1. Modify the boundary of the district to exclude the property\n\nfrom the district;\n\n2. Assume the cost of the improvement assessed against the\n\nproperty lying beyond the boundary of the city; or\n\n3. Nullify the proceedings, including any contract, relating to\n\nthe district. Any failure on the part of the governing body of the\n\nother city to ratify the assessments levied by the city creating the\n\nimprovement district shall not affect the validity of the\n\nassessments which have been levied against any property lying within\n\nthe limits of the city creating the improvement district.\n\nC. The owner, or his designated agent, of any property lying\n\noutside the boundary of the city creating the district and in the\n\ndistrict, including the county and any affected subdivision outside\n\nthe city, shall have the same rights granted to owners of property\n\nlying within the boundary of the city creating the district.\n\nD. Whenever a part of the boundary of two or more cities is\n\nupon or along any street or is along the edge of any street and the\n\ngoverning bodies of the cities determine the necessity for making an\n\nimprovement upon any portion of the street, the governing bodies of\n\nthe cities may contract, upon such terms as are to them mutually\n\nagreeable, to make the improvement. The contract shall:\n\n1. Authorize one of the cities to create the district pursuant\n\nto the Improvement District Act; and\n\n2. Prescribe the apportionment of the costs, if any, among the\n\ncities and the manner and payment of such cost. The payment of such\n\ncosts by the cities party to the contract is lawful whether the\n\nimprovement is wholly within, partly within and partly without or\n\nwholly outside its limits.","path":["OK Code","Title 11"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os11.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"2ea26a2455dee9291e5785a7c4949f5e320268eb86d4c1db7d656e39bea13221","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-11-11-39-104","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-11-11-39-106"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
