annexation

Should a city be able to annex an adjacent area without the consent of the residents in that area?

When buying a house, location of one of the most important parts of your decision. The realtors will stress “Location, location, location”. Whether you buy a house in a city or in an ETJ might be an important part of that decision for some. But when a city annexes an area without the consent of its inhabitants, the inhabitants lose say in where they live and they are now being taxed by a city they did not chose to live in, by officials they did not elect, and by laws that you had no say in. “No Taxation Without Representation” A city should not be able to annex an adjacent area without the consent of the residents of that area.
