SF 650 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Orderly annexation election proceedings and detachment provisions modification

SF 650 modifies Minnesota's annexation election rules to create a two-year waiting period after an annexation vote is defeated. It prevents new annexation proceedings for the same area from being initiated within two years unless a majority of property owners petition for it and abutting townships/municipalities support the effort. The bill also updates election procedures, requiring notices to be posted 20 days before voting and published in local newspapers for two weeks, with elections held 30-90 days after the order. These changes apply directly to property owners, municipalities, and townships involved in annexation disputes. The bill aims to prevent repeated, contested annexation attempts without broader community support.
