Bill > S214

This bill enacts several local provisions, primarily focused on adjusting municipal boundaries and powers. Specifically, it removes certain described properties from the corporate limits of the City of Southport, the Town of Yadkinville, and the City of Kannapolis, and also removes a specific property from the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the Town of Sunset Beach. The ETJ refers to an area outside a municipality's direct city limits where it can still exercise certain planning and zoning powers. Additionally, the bill removes a cap on "satellite annexations" for the Town of East Spencer. Satellite annexations allow a municipality to annex non-contiguous areas, and the removed cap means there's no longer a limit on how much of the town's total area can be made up of these separate annexations. These changes generally become effective on June 30, 2026, with provisions ensuring that existing tax liens remain valid.
