Title
Alexander City., corp. limits alt.
Summary

HB291 would expand Alexander City's corporate limits by annexing nearby land in Tallapoosa County.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the city's boundary would be altered to include all land currently inside Alexander City's limits plus the additional territory described in the bill within two Tallapoosa County townships. This would make that land part of the city for governance, zoning, and services. A map showing the proposed annexation is filed and available for public inspection, and the changes would take effect once the Governor signs the bill into law.

Who It Affects
  • Residents and property owners in the annexed land would become part of Alexander City's city limits and would be subject to city laws, taxes, and services.
  • Alexander City's government would gain jurisdiction over the new land and residents, enabling city governance and delivery of city services in the expanded area.
Key Provisions
  • Boundary lines are altered to include all territory encompassed by the current city limits plus the described additional land in Tallapoosa County (Sections in Township 23 North, Range 21 East and Township 22 North, Range 21 East).
  • A map showing the annexation is on file and open to public inspection at the Judge of Probate offices in Tallapoosa County and at the Alexander City City Clerk's office; the act becomes effective upon approval by the Governor.
