§ 30-35-903. Use of districts.
(1) Such special taxing districts shall be used when a service or level of service which a county is authorized to provide is to be provided in substantially less than the entire area included within the county and where resulting ad valorem taxes or charges may vary from those imposed in other areas within the county.
(2) As long as the service is provided to the included territory, a special taxing district may include, subject to the limitations of section 30-35-103 (2), any territory within a county. The included territory need not be contiguous if the noncontiguous territory is essential to the provision of such services or improvements, and the same territory may lie within more than one special taxing district so long as there is no duplication of services or improvements.
(3) No tract or parcel of real estate used for manufacturing, mining, railroad, agricultural, or industrial purposes, together with the buildings, improvements, machinery, or equipment or other personal property thereon, for which no direct benefit is provided by the services or improvements of the special taxing district, shall be included therein without the written consent of the owner thereof. If, contrary to the provisions of this subsection (3), any such tract, parcel, or other property thereon is included in any special taxing district, the owner thereof, upon petition to the governing body of the home rule county, shall be entitled to have the same excluded from the special taxing district free and clear of any contract, obligation, lien, or charge to which it might have been liable as a part of the special taxing district.
