Within sixty days after the holding of such election, if more than a majority of the votes cast are for organization of such proposed district, the state board shall certify to the division of local government in the department of local affairs a statement of such election and the result thereof, together with a map or plat showing the area included within such district. The director of said division shall thereupon execute and deliver to the state board a certificate declaring the area within the boundaries of such district to be a lawful conservation district under its name as shown in the records, and thereafter such district shall be a public body corporate and a political subdivision of the state of Colorado and shall have all the powers and duties imposed upon such districts under the provisions of this article. Because the district is a political subdivision of the state, the property of such district, both real and personal, shall be exempt from taxation pursuant to section 4 of article X of the state constitution.
