A bill for an act related to boundary adjustments between cities by petition of property owners.

This bill allows property owners in Iowa to petition for boundary adjustments between cities if their land would otherwise remain in one city while becoming part of another. If a city council denies a petition three times within one year, the petition moves to a state board, which must facilitate an agreement between the cities for up to 40 years on tax revenue sharing and up to 10 years for zoning changes. The bill only applies to undeveloped or unimproved land and excludes land with existing tax agreements, special assessments, or tax-sale properties. It directly affects property owners seeking to change municipal jurisdiction and the cities involved in boundary disputes.
