Cities, annexation
ANNEXATION BY CITIES – Repeals and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding annexation of land by cities.

RS31208 / S1293

This legislation clarifies, simplifies, and reformats Idaho's annexation statute. It provides definitions for fundamental terms, provides for timely notification to counties, ensures that public hearings are held before city councils, while providing flexibility for small municipalities, clarifies and standardizes the use of terms, provides a clear landowner consent threshold, and organizes the provisions of the statute to reduce confusion and legal conflict.

This legislation will have no impact on the general fund because it requires no expenditure of state funds. This legislation will have no direct fiscal impact on local governments.
