What’s in it

Under Code chapter 468 (levee and drainage districts and improvement), the board of supervisors has the authority to establish a drainage district or to locate and establish a levee. Upon establishment of a district, the drainage district is deemed to acquire a permanent easement for all necessary rights-of-way for ditches, tile lines, settling basins, and related improvements, unless acquired in fee simple. The easement dimensions are reflected in the required surveys and reports. Filing of the survey and related documents with the county auditor constitutes constructive notice of the district’s rights.
