Annexation

Planning

ANNEXATION
Annexation involves incorporating a property into the Johnson City municipal limits. Considering that state law requirements affect the eligibility of a property for annexation, property owners are advised to contact Planning Staff and discuss their annexation intent before submission a request.

As part of your application, upload a metes and bounds description of the property or a surveyor’s plat shown the specific property proposed for annexation. The request should include your name, mailing address, the tax map and parcel number (found on tax card), requested zoning, and reason for the request. There are no fees for annexation.
A request for annexation of a developed residential or commercial area should be accompanied by a petition signed by those property owners who favor the annexation of their properties.
 
 
Annexation Procedure
The Planning Division will conduct a feasibility study of each annexation prior to Planning Commission consideration. All annexations are required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and by the City Commission as an ordinance. At the time of annexation, the property will be zoned in accordance with City zoning regulations.

Deannexation Policy
The Johnson City Board of Commissioners on July 19, 2018 adopted a policy for the contraction of the City limits of Johnson City. This policy outlines the criteria and procedure for removing a property from the corporate limits of Johnson City.
