Bill summary(ies)
HB 845, the Annexation Reform Act of 2011 (the Act) makes several fundamental changes in how annexation is conducted in North Carolina, as well as numerous smaller procedural changes. Municipal financial responsibility for water and sewer extensions is increased dramatically, annexed landowners now have the ability to deny an annexation by petition after the ordinance is adopted, and new types of voluntary annexations are established for high poverty areas.
