Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding costs associated with the annexation of certain property by cities.

It is the intent of the legislature to honor and uphold the rights of private landowners. This means that to the extent possible, the government is not to create a heavy burden on a landowner and their ability to manage their property. This was a central theme when penning the Declaration of Independence. Should it become necessary for a municipality to annex property against the will of the landowner, the municipality will be inhibited from creating more harm to the landowner by also requiring that the landowner must connect to the city’s wastewater and other possible utilities. The landowner will be free to continue to use a septic system, even if it must be replaced. The landowner is not required to pay for curb and cutter.
