Arkansas Code Title 14. Local Government § 14-318-105. Hearing and appeal

Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) On the day named in the notice, it shall be the duty of the county court to meet and to hear all persons who favor the formation of the district or oppose its formation.

(1) If the court finds that the organization of the district would be to the benefit of the territory described in the petition and to the public interest, it shall enter its judgment creating the district.

(2) If it finds that the organization of the district would not be beneficial to the real property in the district or to the public interest, it shall enter its judgment refusing to establish the district.

(b) The district may embrace a portion of any city or incorporated town that would be specially benefited by the making of the improvement, but the territory outside of the town and within the district must exceed in area that portion which is within the city or incorporated town.

(c) Any petitioner or any opponent of the petition may appeal from the judgment of the county court creating or refusing to create the district; but the appeal must be taken within thirty (30) days. If no appeal is taken within that time, the judgment creating the district shall be final and conclusive upon all persons.

(d) Any judgment creating a district shall appoint three (3) commissioners, who shall be owners of real property within the district. The judgment shall give a name to the district which shall be descriptive of its purpose, and it shall also receive a number to prevent its being confused with other districts for similar purposes.
