The State annexation statutes allow for property owners to petition for “voluntary annexations” under specific circumstances. For instance, the property must be contiguous to the current City limits, or it must be in closer proximity to City boundaries than to other nearby incorporated municipalities. More specifically, the property must also fall within Charlotte’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and according to Charlotte’s voluntary annexation policies, three other requirements must be met: – annexation of the property cannot create an unincorporated area entirely surrounded by areas incorporated within the City of Charlotte. – annexation cannot negatively affect City services or budgets, and – annexation cannot create a situation that makes it more difficult to undertake subsequent annexation in the area Petitions for voluntary annexations are made through the City Clerk’s office.
