FL H1121

Revises the definition of "enclave" to include unincorporated areas enclosed by at least two municipalities where at least one provides first responder services, and areas where 75 percent or more is bounded by one municipality providing first responder services.

Eliminates the requirement for a voter referendum when an area proposed for annexation has 25 or fewer registered electors that do not own property in the area, provided more than 50 percent of property owners consent.

Allows municipalities to annex unincorporated property they own that is contiguous to their border or separated by natural or man-made barriers (canals, rivers, railroads, or highways) through a governing body resolution instead of requiring a property owner petition.

Specifies that when two or more municipalities form an enclave, the municipality providing services to that enclave has the right to annex it; if multiple municipalities provide services, any of them may annex portions as long as the entire enclave is annexed by one or more eligible municipalities.

Takes effect July 1, 2018.
