WATER DISTRICTS – Amends existing law to authorize water districts to charge certain fees.

This bill (S 1223) allows Idaho water districts to charge property owners a fixed fee during real estate transactions. Water districts can set this fee - approved by water users at annual meetings - to cover administrative costs related to property transfers, such as notifying title companies of outstanding balances, confirming payments, and transferring water right documentation. The fee is separate from regular water service charges and must be used exclusively for these specific property transfer tasks. It directly affects water districts and property owners involved in real estate sales within water district boundaries.
