2021 Colorado Code|Title 37 - Water and Irrigation|Article 42 - Irrigation District Law of 1921|§ 37-42-126. Assessment of Lands - Valuation

  It is the duty of the county assessor of any county embracing the whole or a part of any irrigation district to assess and enter upon his records as assessor in its appropriate columns the assessment of all lands, including public lands subject to assessment under the congressional act of August 11, 1916, exclusive of improvements, situate, lying, and being within any irrigation district in whole or in part of such county. Immediately after said assessment has been extended as provided by law, the assessor shall make returns of the total amount of such assessment to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the office of said district is located.    All lands within the district for the purpose of taxation under this article shall be valued by the assessor at the same rate per acre; except that in no case shall any land be taxed, or subject to taxation, for irrigation district purposes under this article, or under any other or former law relative to irrigation districts, which by reason of location, or the broken uneven surface, or unsuitable character or quality of the soil is unsuitable for irrigation and cultivation, or which, from any natural cause is not capable of irrigation and cultivation, except at a financial loss, nor shall tracts of land of one acre or less be taxed for irrigation purposes if the board of directors of the irrigation district has fixed an amount payable for each of such tracts. If the amount of water available from the water system of the irrigation district is wholly insufficient for the successful growing and maturing of crops on the entire acreage of lands within the district and susceptible of irrigation therefrom, that fact may be alleged and, upon proof, shall entitle the owner of lands that have never been cultivated and irrigated from the water system of such irrigation district to the relief provided for in this article.    Where a contract is entered into between the United States and an irrigation district organized under this article providing for the payment of charges at an unequal rate per acre, district land so affected shall not be valued by the county assessor under the foregoing provision of this section, but in such case the county assessor shall assess such district land in accordance with the certificate provided for in section 37-42-125 and in compliance with the terms of such contract between the United States and the district.

  At any time after the expiration of two years from the date of the issuance of any bonds under this article, any landowner may relieve his lands from the burden of such bonded indebtedness in the following manner: He shall pay to the district treasurer an amount of money sufficient to retire district bonds in such ratio to the total bonded indebtedness of the district as the acreage of lands which he owns within such district bears to the total acreage thereof, subject to such bonded indebtedness, plus fifteen percent; except that, where such district may have outstanding more than one issue of bonds, the bonds of any one issue may be thus retired without reference to other issues; and where such payment is insufficient to furnish money to retire an entire bond, such landowner shall pay such further sum as shall be required to retire an entire bond, and the treasurer shall issue to him a lien bond in a denomination representing such excess payment, bearing the same serial number, of like terms, and with the same rate of interest as the bond of the last serial number so retired.    The treasurer shall thereupon issue to such landowner his official receipt in duplicate, one of which receipts shall be filed with the secretary of such irrigation district and one filed for record in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county wherein the lands involved are situated. From and after the filing, such lands shall be free and clear from any and all liens, levies, and assessments of such bonded indebtedness for which such payment was made; except that, in the case of a contract with the United States, the provisions of this section shall not apply, but, in such case, the real property of the district shall be and remain liable to be assessed for all payments provided for in such contract with the United States until the obligations under such contract have been paid.
