Minnesota HF2578 modifies rules for annexing unincorporated property and clarifies who can petition for annexation.

Minnesota HF2578 amends the process for annexing unincorporated property. It allows annexation to be initiated by a resolution from the annexing municipality, the township containing the area, or a petition from property owners. The petition must represent at least 20 percent of property owners or 100 property owners, whichever is less. Additionally, the bill specifies that owners or operators of aggregate material mining facilities are not eligible to initiate annexation proceedings.
