Title

Graysville, corp. limits alt.

Summary

SB92 would expand Graysville's city limits by annexing a large number of surrounding Jefferson County parcels.

What This Bill Does

It alters and extends the boundary lines to bring numerous parcels into Graysville, including areas around Scarlettown, East Warner, and Five Mile Creek, with each parcel described by precise boundary descriptions. Some parcels reserve mineral and mining rights, or include road easements, meaning those rights may remain with owners outside surface ownership. A map showing the annexed territory must be filed and publicly available, kept on file in the Judge of Probate's office. The law would take effect on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Property owners within the listed annexation parcels would have their land brought into Graysville and become subject to city taxes, ordinances, zoning, and municipal services.
• The City of Graysville and existing residents in the annexation area would gain expanded jurisdiction and tax base, along with responsibilities for providing services to the newly annexed parcels.

Key Provisions

• Alters, rearranges, and extends the boundary lines and corporate limits of the City of Graysville to include numerous described parcels in Jefferson County.
• Section 2 requires a map showing the territory proposed to be annexed to be on file with the Judge of Probate and accessible to the public.
• Section 3 sets the effective date as the first day of the third month following passage and Governor's approval.
• Many parcels are described with specific boundary lines; minerals/mining rights are reserved on certain parcels, and some parcels include road easements or other rights.
