     7-2-2729. Tax liability of property within abandoned county for debts of continuing county. (1) Whenever a county is abandoned and abolished and its territory is attached to and made a part of an adjoining county under the provisions of this part, none of the property situated within the boundaries of such abandoned and abolished county shall be subjected to taxation or taxed for the payment of any indebtedness of such adjoining county which may exist at the time such territory is attached to and made a part of such adjoining county.
     (2) If an adjoining county to which the territory of an abandoned and abolished county is attached and made a part shall have outstanding and unpaid bonds at the time such territory is attached to and made a part of such county, such bonds shall be the indebtedness of such adjoining county. None of the property situated within the territory of the abandoned county shall be subjected to any taxes to pay the principal or interest of such bonds, but such taxes shall be levied only against the property within the boundaries of such adjoining county as the same existed before the territory of the abandoned and abolished county was attached to and made a part thereof.
