(1)The territory of a district shall include all lands lying within the boundaries of a

district, including incorporated cities and towns.

(2)Petitions for including additional territory within an existing district may be filed

with the commission, and the proceedings provided for by KRS 262.100 to 262.180

in the case of petitions to organize a district shall be observed as far as may be

practicable in the case of petitions for inclusion. The commission shall prescribe the

form for such petitions, which shall be as nearly as may be in the form prescribed by

KRS 262.100 for petitions to organize a district. The Secretary of State shall receive

the application for inclusion of the area within the district and shall attach such

application to the original file containing the papers by which such district was

organized. Where the total number of landowners in the area proposed for inclusion

is less than twenty-five (25), the petition may be filed when signed by a majority of

the landowners of the area, and in that case, no referendum need be held. In a

referendum upon a petition for inclusion of additional territory, all owners of land

lying within the proposed additional area shall be eligible to vote.
