August 25th, 2008 by karenf

The City of Georgetown is considering annexation of twenty-six areas into the City Limits. The areas consist of various parcels totaling 2,826.03 acres. Annexation brings areas into the City Limits, but does not affect ownership status.

Public hearings on each annexation area will be held at the city council meetings on September 9, 2008 and on September 23, 2008. Both meetings start at 6 p.m. The meetings will be held at the Council Chamber and Counts Building, located at 101 E. Seventh Street.

For more information, answers to frequently asked questions, and descriptions and maps of the proposed areas to be annexed, follow the link below to the annexation webpage.

If my neighborhood goes city. Who has to pay for city hook ups from my house to the connections?? If it is me, are they going to have some type of payment plan?? I have well water and a septic tank on my property. There is no way that I’m not going to be able to pay for the hook up connections up front out of pocket!! Also do I have to go to the public hearing or can someone represent me and turn in my signature to reject the annexation. Thanks Kenny Myers

If your property is annexed and City water and sewer services are made available in the service plan, we cannot require you to connect to the water and sewer system.
You may do so at some time in the future, if your well or septic tank fail. At that time you would pay the service connection fee. You will be responsible for running the service (installing the line) from your residence/structure to the service line.

If you cannot attend the public hearings and you want to comment on the proposed annexation of your property, you may have someone speak for you. They will simply have to attend one or both of the public hearings, and fill out the registration form available in the Council Chamber and present it to the City Secretary at the time of the meeting. The registration will be given to the Mayor and he will recognize the speaker at the appropriate time. You may also send written comments addressed to my attention or the Mayor (George Garver) at the following address: P.O. Box 1458, Georgetown, Texas 78627-1458. Please identify which annexation area in which you are located in any correspondence (this can be found in the second sentence of the opening paragraph of the letter sent to you dated August 4, 2008 or on the location map sent to you at that time. I will place your letter in the binder containing the service plan and back-up information for the annexation area. A copy of that binder will go to all City Council members for the public hearings.
