Sec. 1207. ADVISORY. If a township located in another county is contiguous to:
(1) a municipal or county boundary;
(2) an area over which a municipality is exercising planning and zoning authority; or
(3) a township that has joined a municipality or county under the 1200 series of this chapter;
and joinder is not precluded by section 1202 of this chapter, then it may join either a contiguous municipality or a contiguous county that:
(A) has an advisory plan commission; and
(B) has adopted ordinances of the type specified in section 1202 of this chapter.
The procedures for joinder are the same as specified by sections 1203 and 1204 of this chapter, except that if joinder is with a county, the petition must go to the county plan commission or the metropolitan plan commission and the resolution of approval must be adopted by the county legislative body.
