The period of time for the gathering of signatures shall begin on the day after such filing and shall not exceed one (1) year, unless otherwise provided by law. The provisions of this section shall apply to all petitions to be circulated in all or a portion of a county, if the provisions thereof would require additional taxes or assessments, including but not limited to, those authorized by the following provisions of law:
