County Governance Modifications

Summary

HB 457 changes Utah’s annexation process by automatically attaching certain unincorporated islands in second‑class counties to adjacent municipalities, while allowing local legislative bodies to exempt islands. It also revises definitions, requires a notice filing with the lieutenant governor within 60 days of an annexation action, and lets council‑manager counties delegate accounting services. The changes affect counties, municipalities, and other local entities that participate in annexations or boundary adjustments.
