76.175 Annexation by district of unincorporated area or city or part of city of fifth or sixth class -- Procedure -- Appeals. The board of the district may annex any unincorporated area in the county, or any area of
the county containing all or any part of a city of the fifth or sixth class, whether
contiguous or noncontiguous, to the district by making a preliminary order describing the
area to be annexed and causing said order to be published pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
The notice so published shall state that objections in writing to the proposed annexation
may be filed with the district within thirty (30) days of the date of said notice. The district
shall examine and hear all such complaints. It may modify or amend the areas proposed to
be annexed; and it shall make a final order, within sixty (60) days of the date of
publication of said notice, describing the area or areas to be annexed and shall cause the
same to be published pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. Within sixty (60) days after final
publication of an order made pursuant to this section, any freeholder of land within the
area or areas proposed to be annexed may appeal such final order to the Circuit Court for
the county in which the district is located. All matters appealed shall be tried as an
equitable action. Decisions of the Circuit Court may be appealed to the Court of Appeals. History: Amended 1976 Ky. Acts ch. 62, sec. 79. -- Created 1968 Ky. Acts ch. 156, sec. 5.
