§ 539.734. Inclusion within district of state lands and state lands held under contract to purchase
1. Whenever state lands held under contract to purchase are included within the boundaries
of any irrigation district, such lands shall be subject to all the provisions of this
chapter the same as any other land held in private ownership. 2. State lands, not under contract to purchase, shall not become a part of an irrigation
district except by the consent of the State Land Registrar, who is authorized and
required to consent thereto on behalf of the State upon there being filed in his or
her office a certificate signed by the State Engineer to the effect that such lands
will be benefited by inclusion therein. 3. District assessments, charges and tolls against such lands not under contract shall
become a charge against the lands, and any sale or contract to sell any such lands
thereafter shall be conditioned upon the payment, by the purchaser or contractor,
of all such accrued charges in addition to the purchase price of the land. 4. In case of state land held under contract, the person holding such contract shall
be deemed the owner of the land for the purposes of this chapter, and liens shall
attach to his or her rights under such contract, and such liens shall be enforced
as in other cases, subject to the paramount title of the State, and subject to the
rights of a purchaser at a sale for delinquent assessments to be subrogated to the
rights of such contract holder to acquire patent to such land from the State.
