SF 593: Providing for the preparation and filing of a district parcel record that identifies all parcels contained within a drainage or levee district that is part of a county

Signed into law

What it does

This bill requires a county auditor (auditor) to prepare and file with the county recorder a district parcel record (record) that identifies all parcels contained within a drainage or levee district within the county. The auditor must file the record after first receiving either the survey and report, or a permanent survey, plat, and profile, that is filed with the auditor when the district is established. The parcel record must include the legal description, parcel identification number, and the names of the owners for each 40-acre tract or fraction of a tract. If an auditor has not filed a document described as a district parcel record with the county recorder before the effective date of the bill, the auditor must prepare and file the district parcel record on or before June 30, 2026.
