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. Recognizing that there are times when municipalities do find it necessary to annex property, the municipalities are being asked to use the lightest touch possible. This legislation requires the municipalities to incur the costs if the city created the costs. Other options include allowing landowners to replace a septic system.
