Summary

Primary Sponsor: J.T. WaggonerSenator

Session: Regular Session 2015
Title: Homewood, corp. limits alt.
Summary: The bill would expand Homewood’s city limits by annexing several described parcels in Jefferson County.
What This Bill Does
It alters and extends the boundary lines to include seven specified tracts (Tracts 1–7) into the City of Homewood, Jefferson County. The annexation would bring these lands under Homewood’s city governance, zoning, and services, with mineral and mining rights for Tract 1 excluded from the annexation. A map of the proposed annexation is on file with the Jefferson County Judge of Probate, and the measure would take effect on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.

Who It Affects
Property owners and landowners within the annexed tracts (Tracts 1–7): their land would become part of Homewood and be subject to its taxes, zoning, ordinances, and municipal services; Tract 1’s mineral and mining rights are reserved and not included.
The City of Homewood and Jefferson County authorities (and related service providers): they would gain jurisdiction over the annexed area and would need to extend municipal services, infrastructure planning, and record-keeping to the new territory.

Key Provisions

Section 2: A map showing the proposed annexation is on file with the Jefferson County Judge of Probate and is open to public inspection.
