STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30058 / S1040
This legislation clarifies the rights of private landowners who wish to be annexed by a city when the property
in question is within, or contiguous to, more than one city's area of impact.
Cities are increasingly disagreeing over areas of impact and related annexations. Regardless, when a piece of
private property falls into more than one city's area of impact, this legislation will give the property owner the
ability to choose which city he or she will be annexed by.
This legislation only applies to voluntary annexations, which are those where the property owner is actively
seeking to be annexed. This legislation will have no impact on any other property rights, and it will not make
forced annexations easier.
FISCAL NOTE
The state does not approve, deny, or administer voluntary annexations. Therefore, there will be no effect on
the general fund.
