New Mexico Statutes Chapter 73. Special Districts § 73-9-38. Petition for annexation of lands; who may file; contents; acknowledgment

The holder or holders of title, or evidence of title, or any body of land adjacent to or situate within the boundaries of any irrigation district, may file with the board of directors of said district a petition in writing, praying that such lands be included in such district. The petition shall describe the tracts, or body of land owned by the petitioners, but such description need not be more particular than is required when such lands are entered by the county assessor in the assessment book. Such petition shall be deemed to give the assent of the petitioners to the inclusion of said district of the lands described in the petition, and such petition must be acknowledged in the same manner that conveyances of land are required to be acknowledged.
