Lands outside the corporate limits of the City of Garretson are designated for purposes of possible future annexation, handled under Section 4 below.

The rural service district shall include only such platted or unplatted lands as in the judgment of the City of Garretson are rural in character, are used or usable for agriculture, and are not developed for commercial, industrial or urban residential purposes, and for these reasons are not benefited to the same degree as other lands by municipal services financed by general taxation. The rural service district may include lands which are not contiguous to one another. Lands outside the corporate limits of the City of Garretson may be designated as rural service district, and if annexed, shall be included within the rural service district.
Section 5. Urban Service District. The urban service district shall include all lands within the boundaries of the City of Garretson which are not included in the rural service district. Section 6.

Within each district, the amount so allocated shall be spread upon all taxable property in proportion to the assessed valuation thereof.
Section 9. Certification of Tax Levy to County Auditor. The amount of taxes levied each year shall be certified to the county auditor.
