Summary

HB770 expands the City of Spanish Fort by annexing extensive Baldwin County lands into its city limits.

What This Bill Does

The bill changes the boundary lines of Spanish Fort to include all current city territory plus numerous described parcels in Baldwin County. Annexed lands would be subject to the city’s laws and ordinances, with the City Council gaining jurisdiction over the new area. A map of the annexed territory is on file and open to public inspection, and the act takes effect immediately upon the governor's approval.

Who It Affects

• Landowners and property within the described parcels in Baldwin County being annexed; they would become residents of Spanish Fort and fall under city laws, ordinances, and services.
• Current residents and businesses within the City of Spanish Fort; they would see expanded city boundaries and increased city governance over the added area, potentially affecting services, zoning, and tax base.

Key Provisions

• Provision 1: The boundary lines and corporate limits of the City of Spanish Fort are altered, extended, rearranged and redefined to include all current city territory plus the described parcels (Parcels A and B and other lands listed).
• Provision 2: All annexed territory becomes subject to the city's laws and ordinances, the City Council gains exclusive jurisdiction over the annexed area, a map showing the annexed territory is on file and public, and the act becomes effective immediately upon gubernatorial approval.
