§ 103E.53 — Rules to Standardize Forms

Plain-Language Summary

The drainage authority can transfer jurisdiction of a drainage system to another drainage authority, such as from a county to a watershed district. The transfer must be agreed to by both authorities.

Practical Notes
Jurisdictional transfers happen when a different authority is better positioned to manage a drainage system. Your drainage obligations continue under the new authority, and your rights to hearings and appeals are preserved.
