Montana Title 7. Local Government § 7-13-2346. Decision on petition to exclude land

(1) If upon such hearing the board of directors determines that it is for the best interests of the district that the lands mentioned in the petition or some portion thereof be excluded from the district or if it appears that such lands or some portion thereof will not be benefited by their continued inclusion in the district, then the board shall make an order that such lands or such portion thereof be excluded from the district, such order to describe specifically the lands so excluded.

(2) A copy of such order of exclusion, certified to by the secretary of the district, shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county or counties in which the district is situated, and the record of such certified copy shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the exclusion from the district of the lands purporting to be excluded thereby.
