§ 23267 County Boundary Transfer Election

Key Takeaways

  • •If a place with people in it wants to switch counties, both counties must agree first.
  • •The county losing the land must hold a vote for the people living there within 30 days of getting the okay.
  • •The vote must happen at least 74 days after the okay is given, on the next normal election day.

Example

A small town wants to move from County A to County B because County B has better schools.

Both County A and County B must agree to the move. Then, County A has to set up a vote for the town’s people to decide if they really want to switch. The vote can’t happen too soon—it has to be at least 74 days after the agreement and on the next regular election day.
