Résumé

This Chapter of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) concerns levy for continuous benefits of diking districts. It declares that the state declares that it has an interest in protecting and preserving productive land and buildings needed to make business function continuously. Where organized diking districts, through their improvements, have reclaimed land or protected it from overflow and have enabled erection of improvements thereon or have furnished such land and buildings protection against flood water, it is necessary to provide a just and equitable method to enable such diking districts continuously to function effectively. It is declared that there is a direct relationship, where such conditions exist, between the continuous functioning of such districts and the fair value of the lands and buildings thereon, or to be erected thereon, thus afforded protection. Among others, the Chapter provides for levy for continuous benefits and base benefits; roll of protected property; hearing on roll and determining continuous base benefit; notice of hearing; procedure on hearing and objections; additional roll as to particular property and procedure; roll to be certified and filed; roll to provide basis for levy; roll and proceedings conclusive, exceptions, and right to injunction; review by superior court as to how taken; levy is for continuous benefits only; annual estimate of costs, levy as part of general taxes; emergency expenditures and warrants; and levy is exclusive method for raising revenue, and exception.
