Summary On April 24, 2017, the City Commission adopted Resolution 17-11, waiving the $1,000 application fee for voluntary annexation applications for applications submitted from May 1, 2017 through the close of business on August 1, 2017. For long range planning purposes related to ensuring and expanding the City's geographic boundaries or filling in enclaves, it is recommended that the fee waiver for voluntary annexation be extended for an additional six (6) months, in order for staff to work with various properties owners, and to consider strategies related to applying City zoning and land use to annexed properties. Resolution 17-19 proposes that the duration of the waiver of the application fees for voluntary annexations be extended from the effective date of Resolution 17-19 through the close of business on February 1, 2018.
Non-contiguous annexation applications that are submitted during the time frame proposed in Resolution 17-19 can be combined and addressed in one annexation ordinance.
Voluntary annexations are governed by Part 1, Chapter 171, F.S. | | |
