Chapter 3. Effect Of Detachment of California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 5. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 3.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, on and after the effective date of a detachment, the territory detached from a city or district, all inhabitants within the territory, and all persons formerly entitled to vote by reason of residing within the territory shall cease to be subject to the jurisdiction of the city or district and shall have none of the rights or duties of the remaining territory, inhabitants, or voters of the city or district.

Unless otherwise provided in the terms and conditions of the detachment, the city from which territory is detached may from time to time levy and collect from the detached territory its just proportion of liability for payment of the interest and principal of debts of the city contracted prior to detachment.

At any time, the detached territory may tender to the city council of the city or the legislative body of the district the amount for which the detached territory is liable. If tender is made, the authority of the city or district to levy taxes on the detached territory shall cease.

  (a) All or any part or to any payment on account of the moneys or funds, including cash on hand and moneys due but uncollected, or any property, real or personal, of the city or district.
  (b) Any refund by reason of any taxes, assessments, service charges, rentals, or rates collected prior to the effective date of the detachment.

Any territory detached from a city or district shall continue to be liable for the payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts which become due on account of any bonds, including revenue bonds, or other contracts or obligations of the district and any improvement district within which the detached territory has been situated, as are outstanding on the effective date of detachment. It shall be subject to the levying or fixing and collection of any of the following which may be necessary to provide for that payment:
  (a) Taxes or assessments.
  (b) Service charges, rentals, or rates.
