11-269.07. Annexation to city or town; small county islands
A board of supervisors may require annexation to a city or town of any territory of the county that consists of an entire parcel that is ten acres or less and that is completely surrounded by the city or town in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Written notice of the proposed annexation and the public hearing required by paragraph 2, together with a document setting forth a description and an accurate map of the exterior boundaries of the territory to be annexed, shall be given to the city or town and mailed by first class mail to each owner of real property in the territory proposed for annexation. Notice to each owner of railroad property must be mailed to the address on file with the county assessor's office for property tax purposes. The notice shall also be posted in three conspicuous public places in the territory proposed for annexation.
2. Unless a petition is filed pursuant to paragraph 3 or a resolution is passed pursuant to paragraph 4, the board of supervisors shall hold a public hearing not less than ninety days after the notices are provided pursuant to paragraph 1 and the annexation shall become final after an affirmative vote of two-thirds or more of the board members to annex the territory.
3. If a majority of the real property owners in the territory proposed for annexation file a written petition containing their signatures and objecting to the annexation within sixty days after the notices are provided pursuant to paragraph 1, the annexation shall not proceed.
4. If an affected city or town passes a resolution objecting to the annexation within sixty days of the mailing required by paragraph 1 of this section, the annexation shall not proceed. If a city or town passes a resolution objecting to the annexation, the city or town shall file with the clerk of the board of supervisors a copy of the resolution and shall notify the real property owners in the territory by first class mail that the annexation shall not proceed.
