§ 103E.515 — Damages; Payment

Plain-Language Summary

Property owners can petition for repair of a drainage system. The petition must be signed by at least 26 percent of the affected property owners or owners of at least 26 percent of the affected area.

Practical Notes
If the drainage authority is not maintaining a system properly, property owners can force the issue by filing a repair petition with enough signatures. This gives property owners a way to demand needed maintenance.
