HB 613 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Marengo Co., City of Demopolis; annexation

This bill proposes to expand the City of Demopolis in Marengo County by annexing an additional 116-acre parcel of land located in Hale County. The new territory would be bounded by specific geographic markers, including U.S. Highway 80 and the proposed West Alabama Highway Project, and would be incorporated into the city's corporate limits. The legislation requires a map of the proposed annexation to be filed with the Marengo County Probate Judge for public inspection before the changes take effect. If approved, the annexation would officially become effective on October 1, 2026, extending the city's jurisdiction over the included land.
