Indiana HB1205 amends annexation laws, requiring petitions for annexation to be signed by a majority of landowners and modifying remonstrance.

Indiana HB1205 modifies the process for municipal annexations. It mandates that petitions for annexation must be signed by at least 51% of the owners of non-tax-exempt land or 75% of the assessed valuation of such land. The bill also eliminates the requirement for a remonstrance waiver to be recorded before July 1, 2003, and voids any such waivers executed after June 30, 2019. It reduces the number of required outreach meetings from six to three.
