SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICTS
§221. Contracts; taxes
A. If a municipality annexes territory contained in a parochial water, sewer, or fire protection district, hereinafter collectively referred to as special service districts, the municipality and each such special service district are hereby authorized to enter into a contract granting to either the municipality or the special service district the exclusive right to provide service in the annexed area.
B. If the municipality and the special service districts provide in the contract that the municipality thereafter will have jurisdiction to serve the annexed area, the special service district shall continue to levy taxes in the annexed area for the retirement of any outstanding tax-secured bonds of the district and may continue to levy such maintenance tax as theretofore has been authorized for the full period of such authorization; however, the district shall not thereafter be authorized to levy any new maintenance taxes in the annexed area, and, if the district thereafter issues any tax-secured bonds, the assessed valuation of the annexed area shall not be used in computing the capacity of the district to issue such bonds, and taxes shall not be levied in the annexed area for the retirement of new bonds of the district, notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary.
C. If any of the territory contained in Waterworks District No. 9 of Ward 4 of Calcasieu Parish is annexed by a municipality, the waterworks district shall continue to levy and collect taxes, including maintenance taxes, within the annexed area as provided in this Section, and shall continue to provide service within the annexed area unless the waterworks district reaches an agreement with the municipality to the contrary. The district may levy any new maintenance taxes in the annexed area, and if the district thereafter issues any tax-secured bonds, the assessed valuation of the annexed area shall be used in computing the capacity of the district to issue such bonds and taxes shall be levied in the annexed area for the retirement of new bonds of the district, unless prior to the levy of the new tax or the issuance of the bonds, the district and the municipality enter into a contract granting to the municipality the exclusive right to provide service in the annexed area.
