AL HB145

Allows any incorporated municipality in Alabama to annex unincorporated territory that has been enclosed within the municipality's corporate limits for one year or more, using procedures previously available only to Class 4 municipalities.

Limits annexation authority to unincorporated territory of 15 acres or less in size.

Requires municipalities to adopt an ordinance finding that the territory has been enclosed for at least one year and that annexation serves the public good and welfare.

Annexation becomes effective after ordinance adoption, publication as required by law, and filing a copy of the ordinance with a map in the office of the judge of probate in the county where the territory is located.

Prohibits municipalities from annexing any part of an industrial park established under Chapter 23 of Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975.
