(8) When a city or district located in a county outside the jurisdiction of a boundary commission annexes or otherwise incorporates territory located within the jurisdiction of a boundary commission, the boundary commission shall assess the city or district with the portion of the total amount determined under subsection (4) or (5) of this section as the assessed valuation of the territory of the city or district within the jurisdiction of the boundary commission bears to the total assessed valuation of the entire city or district.
