Summary

SB557 expands the City of Piedmont by annexing four specified parcels of land in Calhoun County into Piedmont's corporate limits.

What This Bill Does

The bill annexes four described parcels into Piedmont's city limits, bringing Parcel 1 (20.0 acres in Fractional Section 33), Parcel 2 (a tract described around Roberts Road and Maxwelborn Road), Parcel 3 (19.92 acres in Lot 11, Section 34), and Parcel 4 (several parcels along Ladiga Branch and US Highway 278), plus a plot that includes land conveyed to Piedmont's Water Works, Gas and Sewer Board. The annexed land is subject to any recorded easements and there are no visible encroachments on or across the property except sewer lines.
