§ 1-112. Authority to divide county into service districts; levying of taxes and assessments.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this constitution or the general laws of the state, the governing authority of Fulton County is authorized to divide said county into districts without regard to uniformity of area or population, for the purpose of providing to the residents of such districts any or all services which said county may now or hereafter be authorized to provide under the provisions of this constitution or of the laws of this state. Upon the establishment of such districts the governing authority of such county is hereby authorized to levy taxes or assessments, or both, throughout such district or districts to defray all or part of the cost of such services, all without the necessity of uniformity of taxation between such districts; provided, however, that the said county may not exercise any such powers or provide any service inside the boundaries of any other local governments except by contract with the local governments affected unless otherwise provided by any local or special law and no existing local or special laws or provision of this constitution is intended to be hereby repealed. The said county and the local governments therein, and any combination thereof, shall have the authority to enact ordinances and to contract with each other in pursuance of this paragraph and for the purpose of carrying out and effectuating the powers herein conferred.
