Carlisle v. Columbia Irrigation District
Washington Supreme Court
Decided April 1, 2010No. 82035-0PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtFairhurst, J.
¶1 Irrigation districts in Washington, like all local government entities, must follow the statutes that regulate them, provide due process of law before depriving persons of property, and hold elections in a manner that is equal and free. The issue in this case is whether the Columbia Irrigation District (CID) met these obligations when it expanded its territory in 2007 and established a local improvement district (LID) to levy special assessments on the newly added properties. We hold CID acted lawfully, and accordingly we affirm the Benton County Superior Court.
