Easier city annexation across railroad tracks

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law treats land on both sides of the same railroad as contiguous for annexation. Cities do not need permission from the railroad owner or operator. Cities still cannot annex the tracks or the railroad right-of-way. This procedural change does not by itself change taxes or services.
