Defining Annexation
Municipalities, or cities, have their own local governments and elected officials, as does the county. Annexation is the legal process of changing the status of a piece of property from belonging to an unincorporated area, typically a county, to belonging to the area of an incorporated municipality and within the city limits of the municipality. This means that property owners would have rights to all available municipal services.Once a tract of land is made part of the municipality, the individual may vote in all local elections held by the municipality.
