HB 1068 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

King Satellite Annexation/Rural Hall Fire District.

HB 1068 removes a specific restriction that currently limits the total size of satellite annexations for the City of King in North Carolina. Under the existing law, King could not expand its noncontiguous areas beyond 10% of its main city limits, but this bill explicitly exempts King from that cap. This change allows the city to annex additional noncontiguous land without being constrained by the previous percentage limit. The legislation directly affects the City of King and applies only to its future annexation plans.
