Annexation of Present-Use Value Land/School Capacity.

Summary

The bill changes annexation rules so that before a city can annex agricultural, forest, horticultural or recently present‑use‑valued land that is not adjacent to the city, the county’s planning department must check if rezoning for homes would push school enrollment beyond 100% of capacity. If it would, the county board must approve the annexation, or the city must pay to offset the school‑capacity shortfall. The measure applies only to Iredell County and takes effect July 1 2026.
