Intr Text

Property owners can petition to annex undeveloped land within municipal boundaries into the county.

This bill, known as the Municipal-to-County Annexation Act, allows property owners of undeveloped or unimproved land within municipal boundaries to petition for annexation into the county. The property must meet eligibility criteria, including being undeveloped, having owner consent, and county commission approval. The county development authority has a right of first refusal to purchase the property at fair market value for five years post-annexation. The county assumes responsibility for providing services and zoning upon annexation.
