Current law provides that a city, town, or village can annex an unincorporated area that is contiguous and compact to its existing corporate limits.
This bill specifies that the term "contiguous and compact" includes a situation whereby at least 25% of the length of the perimeter of the unincorporated area is contiguous with the annexing city, town, or village.
The bill prohibits a city, town, or village from annexing an unincorporated area contiguous to another unincorporated area annexed by the same city, town, or village within the last 24 months.
Current law provides an additional annexation procedure for cities in certain counties using a petition process rather than a vote of the residents of the annexed area. This bill repeals this annexation procedure.
This bill is similar to HB 631 (2025).
