Under existing law, if all of the property owners in an area consent to annexation of that property, the property may be annexed without an act of the Legislature. Property within overlapping police jurisdictions of two or more incorporated municipalities, limited to a boundary which is equidistant from the respective corporate limits of the municipalities, may be annexed under certain conditions.
This bill would allow annexation of all of the property in overlapping police jurisdictions upon consent of all of the property owners and assent to the annexation by all of the affected municipalities by adoption of a resolution.
