Annexation, Discontinuance & Land Planning

Mediating Community Boundary Changes

The City Development Board reviews cities’ requests for boundary changes, approves and denies requests, and maintains records on city development actions.

The board also:

• Addresses islands of unincorporated land and unincorporated secondary roads adjacent to city boundaries
• Provides land use planning assistance for sustainable community growth
• Board Information & Minutes

There are five types of processes to understand when considering an annexation (detailed information available in the resources section):

• Voluntary Annexation not in an Urbanized Area
• Voluntary Annexation in an Urbanized Area
• Voluntary Annexation (80/20) in an Urbanized Area including Land without the Consent of the Owner
• Voluntary Annexation (80/20) not in an Urbanized Area including Land without the Consent of the Owner
• Involuntary Annexation
