§ 105285 Annexation Resolution Publication

This law says that when a board decides to add new land to its area, it must print the decision and who voted for or against it in a newspaper that reaches that land.

Key Takeaways

  • •The resolution and voting names must be published.
  • •Publication must be in a newspaper that serves the area being annexed.
  • •If there is no local paper, any general‑circulation newspaper in that area can be used.

Example

A county board votes to annex a nearby town. After the vote, they must put the resolution and each board member's vote in the town's local newspaper, or if the town has no paper, in any widely read paper that circulates there.

The board's decision and voting record get printed so the people living in the area being added can see what happened.
