Committee on Government & Elections

Overview

States that certain annexation requirements do not apply to annexations that were approved by the selection board prior to August 25, 2020.

History

A.R.S. § 9-471 outlines the requirements for extending and increasing the corporate limits of a city or town by annexation.  In order to annex territory, one of the requirements is for the city or town to file in the office of the county recorder a petition that sets forth a description and accurate map of all the exterior boundaries of the territory contiguous to the city or town proposed to be annexed.  Current statute prohibits a city or town from annexing territory that if as a result of that annexation unincorporated territory is completely surrounded by the annexing city or town or a combination of the annexing city or town and other cities or towns.

A state selection board is established in statute that consists of the Governor, the State Treasurer and the Attorney General.  The selection board is tasked with doing all things necessary to comply with the laws of the United States and of the state in securing title to the lands granted to the state in quantity or as indemnity by the enabling act (A.R.S. § 37-202).
