Bill > SB2895

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 6-51-104, which relates to annexation of territory by a municipality. The key provisions of the bill are: (1) it specifies circumstances in which a referendum will not be required to effectuate annexation of territory, and (2) it removes the repealer provision for exceptions to the referendum requirement. Specifically, the bill states that a referendum will not be required if: (i) two-thirds of the property owners within the territory proposed for annexation consent in writing, (ii) the total area of the property owned by the consenting owners is more than one-half of the territory proposed for annexation, and (iii) the proposed annexation consists of nine or fewer parcels.
