SB 376 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Mobile County, City of Semmes annexation

This bill proposes to expand the official boundaries of the City of Semmes in Mobile County by incorporating six specific parcels of land into the municipal limits. The legislation uses precise legal descriptions to define the exact geographic areas being annexed, including portions of Section 21 and lands adjacent to roads like Churchill Downs and Broughton Road. Once approved, the changes will take effect on October 1, 2026, and a map showing the proposed territory will be available for public review at the Mobile County Probate Office. The bill directly affects property owners within the designated parcels and the City of Semmes government, which will gain jurisdiction over the newly included areas.
