Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

City land faces fewer annexation limits

A city or town may annex land it owns when the land touches the city or town in any way. The usual contiguity rules do not apply to that land. The provision does not itself change household taxes or services.

Fast-track annexation for sole owners

A city or town may skip the 30-day wait and public hearing when one owner holds all real and personal property that would be taxed in the proposed area. The city or town must first get the required ownership statement. It may file a signed petition within one year after filing for annexation, and the annexation becomes final when the governing body adopts the ordinance.

More ways to notify annexation areas

Cities and towns may publish annexation notices in a newspaper’s online edition when it is available where the proposed land is located. For one parcel of 160 acres or less, they may post one notice in its most visible area instead of notices in at least three public places. They must also notify a fire district when the proposed annexation includes any part of its territory.
