Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 33, § 4052. Notice of intention to create district; publication; public hearings; incontestability of creation after publication

Before any such consolidated district shall be finally created the governing authority of the parish shall publish in the official journal of the parish at least once not less than fifteen days prior to the date of hearing a notice of its intention to create such district and fixing a date for the holding of a public hearing in which all persons interested may be heard on the question of benefit accruing to their property by reason of the creation of the district. The governing authority in determining the boundaries of any such consolidated district shall take into consideration the question of benefits accruing to the property therein. Such notice of hearing shall set forth the proposed name and boundaries of the district, list the districts to be so consolidated and state the amount of outstanding indebtedness of each and shall state the time and place fixed for the hearing. Following the creation of any such district notice of such creation stating the boundaries of the district shall be published one time in the official journal of the parish. Thirty days after such publication the creation of the district shall become incontestable and no court shall have any right to entertain litigation questioning the legality of the creation of such district. If the governing authority shall desire to call an election in any such district on the issuance of bonds, the levy of special taxes or the assumption of indebtedness, notice of such election may be published during the expiration of such thirty day period.
