Referendum

Annexation by referendum occurs as follows:
  • The Municipality proposes the area to be annexed and prepares an Urban Services Report. The report is adopted by ordinance and filed with the County.
  • The Municipality adopts an annexation ordinance and sets an election date. A regular or special election can be held, not sooner than 90 days or later than 180 days from adoption of the annexation ordinance.
  • The Annexation is advertised in newspaper.
  • Registered voters of the proposed area have the opportunity to vote on the proposed annexation. A simple majority (50% plus one vote) prevails.
  • If passed, the annexation takes effect on date specified (within 1 year of the referendum). If failed or tied, Municipality shall not propose annexation in same exact area for 2 Years.
