§ 27062 Annexation Petition Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If you want to add land to a district, everyone who owns that land must sign a paper asking for it.
  • •The paper must be checked by one of the owners and given to the district's secretary.
  • •You don’t need signatures from owners of public roads or paths if they’re part of the land you want to add.

Example

A group of neighbors wants to add their street and nearby empty land to their local school district.

All the neighbors who own the empty land must sign a paper asking to join the school district. They don’t need signatures from people who own the street because it’s public. One neighbor must swear the paper is true and give it to the school district’s secretary.
