§ 1.04. Expansion of urban services district.  


Latest version.
  • The area of the urban services district may be expanded and its territorial limits extended by annexation whenever particular areas of the general services district come to need urban services, and the metropolitan government becomes able to provide such service within a reasonable period, which shall not be greater than one (1) year after ad valorem taxes in the annexed area become due. The tax levy on property in areas hereafter annexed shall not include any item for the payment of any deficit in the pension or retirement funds of the former City of Nashville. Said tax levy shall not include any item (except pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Section 7.04 of this Charter), for the payment of urban bonds of the metropolitan government issued prior to the effective date of such annexation, or debts of the former City of Nashville allocated to the urban services district under section 7.20 of this Charter, except to the extent that it shall be found and determined by the metropolitan county council that the property within the newly annexed area will benefit, in the form of urban services, from the expenditures for which the debt, or a specified portion of the debt, was incurred, to substantially the same extent as the property within the urban services district as same existed prior to such annexation.

    Annexation shall be based upon a program set forth in the capital improvements budget provided for by section 6.13. Such annexation shall be accomplished and the validity of the same may be contested, by the methods and procedures specified in Tennessee Code Annotated, sections 6-51-101 to 6-51-105, with respect to annexation by municipalities.
