Bill > HB2793

This bill modifies Arizona's procedures for annexing territory into cities and towns, making several key changes. It allows for electronic publication of annexation notices if the newspaper has an online platform, and for a single posted notice if the territory is a small, single parcel. The bill also introduces a new provision (new subsection B) that allows a city or town to bypass the usual 30-day waiting period and public hearing requirements if the annexation involves only the property of the person initiating it, and that property constitutes 100% of the territory to be taxed. Additionally, it clarifies that a property owner who enters into a pre-annexation agreement is still counted towards the required petition signatures for annexation, even if they don't personally sign the petition. The bill also makes minor adjustments to existing language, such as updating references to other subsections and clarifying definitions.
