Bill > S219

This bill modifies North Carolina General Statute 160A-58.1 to remove the ten percent area cap restriction on satellite annexations specifically for the Town of Stallings and the Village of Marvin. In municipal law, satellite annexation refers to the process of a city or town adding non-contiguous (not adjacent) areas to its corporate limits. Currently, most municipalities are limited from annexing satellite areas that exceed ten percent of their primary corporate limits. This bill creates an exception for Stallings and Marvin, allowing them to annex satellite areas beyond the traditional ten percent restriction. The change means these two municipalities will have more flexibility in expanding their territorial boundaries, which could be beneficial for managing growth, providing municipal services, or incorporating new development areas. The bill becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, with no delayed implementation period.
