If the board of supervisors has adopted such a resolution, the board of directors of the district shall, on or before the last day of January following adoption of the board of supervisors' resolution, adopt a resolution, or the board of directors may, without such action by the board of supervisors, adopt such a resolution on or before the last day of January of any year, to cause the levy of any district tax or assessment in accordance with the provisions of this part, if:
  (1) The territory within the boundaries of the district is situated in more than one county; and
  (2) The portion of the district tax or assessment levied on locally assessable property is imposed according to the value of such property as it appears on the local rolls in the respective counties in which the district is situated.
  (b) As used in this part, "district" means an agency of the state, formed pursuant to general law or special act, for the local performance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries. "District" shall exclude the following:
  (1) The state.
  (2) A county.
  (3) A city.
  (4) A special assessment district.
  (5) An improvement district.
  (6) A county service area.
  (7) A metropolitan water district.
  (c) As used in this part, "board of directors" means the legislative body or governing board of a district.
  (d) A resolution adopted pursuant to this section shall remain in effect for at least one year but may be rendered ineffective at any time thereafter by a resolution so stating adopted on or before the last day of January of the year in which the levy of the district's tax or assessment shall no longer be imposed in accordance with the provisions of this part.

(a) If a resolution has been adopted pursuant to Section 2131, the board of directors shall:
  (1) Determine the total amount of revenue required by the district which will be derived from an ad valorem tax or ad valorem assessment on property on the secured roll.
  (2) Divide the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (1) among the counties in which the district is situated in the proportions that the estimated full values of taxable property on the secured roll within the district in the respective counties bear to the estimated total full value of such property within the district.
  (b) The estimated full value shall be determined by adding the figures for the several counties.

(a) If a district has been formed under an enabling act which does not provide that the board of directors shall fix district tax rates, any board of directors which has adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 2131 shall certify, on or before September 1st of each year, to the auditor of each county in which the district is located the total amount of revenue to be derived from an ad valorem tax or assessment on property within the district on the county's secured roll, as such total is determined pursuant to Section 2132.
  (b) If a district has been formed under an enabling act which requires the board of directors to fix district tax rates, any board of directors which has adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 2131 shall fix the rate of district tax for each county in which the district is located at the rate which is necessary in order to raise the amount of revenue apportioned to each such county pursuant to Section 2132. Immediately after fixing such rates, the board of directors shall transmit to the auditor of each county in which the district is located a statement of the rate of district tax fixed by the board of directors for such county.

Any district levying or causing to be levied a tax in accordance with the provisions of this part may levy or cause to be levied a tax in one or more counties in excess of any maximum tax rate established by law or pursuant to law; provided that the total revenue to be received from the tax levies in all counties does not exceed the total revenue which would have been received by the district by levying the tax at the maximum rate in all counties without complying with the provisions of this part.
