Summary

The bill rewrites how Indiana cities can annex land by requiring a court‑filed petition signed by a majority of owners or by owners representing 75% of the land value. It also eliminates many existing steps such as remonstrances, attorney‑fee reimbursements, settlement agreements, certain contiguity requirements, and mandatory fiscal plans for some annexations. The changes aim to speed up annexations while still giving municipalities and landowners clear rules.
