The levy and collection of the special road taxes within the district shall not exempt the property within the district from the levy and collection of the general county road tax by the board of supervisors, but the board shall appropriate annually to the use of the special road district an amount which in their judgment is equitable and just, not less than forty nor more than sixty-five per cent of the amount of road tax levied and collected within the special road district.

Terms Used In Arizona Laws 48-1412

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Property: includes both real and personal property. See Arizona Laws 1-215
