Lege TREND. 2 Ways Belton TX Would Be Impacted by Annexation Bill + 1 End Run Around Annexation.

Belton, Texas City Manager says an annexation bull like 85R’s SB 715 would:

  • end annexation
  • if voluntary annexation were permitted it would:
    • allow the city & the proposed annexation area to vote
    • the carrot would be city utilitiies & services while the stick would be city taxes

Belton has used development agreements as a stop gap to halt annexation.
