Summary

SB357 expands Foley's boundaries by annexing two tracts along US Highway 98 in Baldwin County, increasing the city's land area.

What This Bill Does

The bill alters Foley's boundary to include two annexation tracts (East and West) along US Highway 98, adding about 316.6 acres in total after subtracting specific excluded parcels. Tract 1 adds roughly 240.9 acres and Tract 2 adds roughly 75.7 acres, with certain parcels excluded from the annexation. A map of the proposed annexation is on file for public inspection, and the annexation would take effect on the first day of the third month after the governor signs the act into law.

Who It Affects
  • Property owners and residents within the two US Highway 98 annexation tracts will become part of Foley city limits and will be subject to city laws, taxes, and services.
  • The City of Foley and its current residents will gain new land to govern, potentially increasing the city's tax base and requiring extended provision of services (such as police, fire, utilities, and zoning) to the newly annexed areas.
Key Provisions
  • Annexes two tracts (East and West) along US Highway 98 into the City of Foley, Baldwin County, totaling about 316.6 acres after excluding certain parcels (Tract 1 net ~240.9 acres; Tract 2 net ~75.7 acres).
  • Certain parcels within the annexation tracts are excluded from the annexation, as listed in the bill.
  • A map showing the proposed annexation is on file in the Baldwin County Judge of Probate's office for public inspection.
  • The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following the Governor's approval.
