 A Grassroots Effort to End forced Annexation Abuse in North Carolina

"We lay it down as a fundamental, that laws, to be just,
must give a reciprocation of right; that, without this, they are mere arbitrary rules of conduct, founded in force, and not in conscience." --Thomas Jefferson

2009 Reform Bills introduced

2011 Annexation Legislation Updates

    Thanks to everyone who worked hard on making forced annexation an issue in the 2010 elections. This has made quite a difference in the General Assembly. This gave us a majority of Legislators who made it a priority issue to put an end to forced annexation by giving North Carolina property owners a meaningful voice in the decision to become part of a municipality.

We now have legislation that will eliminate the injustices of forced annexation!

    These changes to the law will improve the way cities approach property owners who live in unincorporated areas around cities and towns with the idea of joining the municipality. The positive consequences of this change to law will actually help improve cities and protect the interests of the city residents. Most importantly it will restore justice and fairness to North Carolina's laws governing cities and towns and the way annexation is done by the cities.

On this page you will find information about the Legislation introduced to change the annexation laws and how those bills progressed in the General Assembly. You will also find contact information for Legislators.

Analysis of H524 (2009) compared to the NCLM's "20 Point Proposals" for annexation reform: HERE

 

Here is a suggestion for everyone across NC who cares about this issue.

 If thousands of people from across NC would send a postcard to these six key legislators, it would be hard to ignore and would emphasize the commitment of people across the State to annexation reform.
It would be an underline of emphasis to our demand for reform.

 Please consider sending these postcards to:

Senator Phil Berger,
16 W. Jones Street,
Room 2007
Raleigh, NC 27601-2808

Senator James Forrester
16 W. Jones Street,

Simply say that you are asking them to pass legislation that 

1) restores a meaningful voice to the property owners affected

2) puts an end to the high costs for city utilities that replace perfectly good private services.
