Title

Hayden, corp. limits alt.

Summary

HB400 would extend Hayden's city limits by annexing five described tracts in Blount County, increasing the municipality's area.

What This Bill Does

The bill would alter, rearrange, and extend Hayden’s boundary to include five annexed tracts (Tracts 1–5) within the city limits. The annexed land would come under Hayden's jurisdiction, meaning the city would provide services and enforce laws there, with existing rights of way, utility lines, easements, and restrictions continuing to apply. A map showing the proposed annexation is on file for public inspection, and the act would take effect on the first day of the third month after Governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Landowners and residents living in the five annexed tracts would become Hayden residents and be governed by the city's laws, services, and any applicable taxes.
• Hayden city government and local agencies would gain new jurisdiction and responsibilities over the annexed land, including planning, zoning, and service provision.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: Alters, rearranges, and extends Hayden's boundary to include Tracts 1–5 described in the bill (detailed boundary descriptions provided).
• Section 2: A map showing the proposed annexation is on file in the Blount County Judge of Probate's office and open to public inspection.
• Section 3: The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and Governor approval, or as otherwise provided by law.
• Annexation is subject to existing rights of way for public roads, utility lines, easements, and restrictions of record.
