Summary

Primary Sponsor: Steve LivingstonSenator
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2023
Title: To alter, rearrange, and extend the boundary lines and corporate limits of the municipality of Skyline in Jackson County.
Summary: SB38 expands Skyline's borders by annexing seven specified tracts of land along Jackson County roads and highways, extending the city's corporate limits.
What This Bill Does
The bill adds seven named annexation tracts (TRACT ONE through TRACT SEVEN) to Skyline, including land and rights-of-way along multiple roads. This changes who is inside the city limits, bringing those properties under Skyline's jurisdiction, taxes, and local ordinances, and requiring the city to provide services there. A map showing the proposed annexation territory is filed and available for public inspection, and the change becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval (or when it otherwise becomes law).

Who It Affects
Residents and property owners within the seven annexed tracts, whose property would become part of Skyline and be subject to city taxes, regulations, and services.
The City of Skyline and its taxpayers, which would gain new territory, potentially expanding the tax base and increasing responsibilities for municipal services and administration.

Key Provisions
