Ind. Code § 36-10-3-37 – Extension of service to unincorporated area; property subject to levy; certification of rate; review; issuance of bond

(a) After a favorable special election under section 35 of this chapter, all property in the area to which service is extended is subject to the same levy for park and recreational purposes as other property within the district. After determining the levy for park and recreational purposes, the fiscal body of the municipality shall certify the rate to be applied to the area in the same manner as all other municipal levies are certified. In reviewing the park and recreation levy, all reviewing authorities shall treat the levy on the district property as a single levy so that the ultimate rate of tax for park and recreation purposes on all property in the district is identical.
(b) The authority of the board to issue bonds under sections 23 through 28 of this chapter includes all property in the area to which service is extended, but bonds may not be issued upon property in the area to which service is extended that do not obligate other property in the district to the same degree. After determining the levy for the park district bond fund, the board shall certify the rate to be applied to the area in the same manner as the rate to be applied to property in the municipality.
