Snowdoun Community Working Towards Incorporation

"Incorporating Snowdoun gives us the chance to shape our own future.  We love our land, our neighbors, and our way of life - and we want to protect it for generations to come" R. Harris Resident

WHY INCORPORATE?

Protect farmland and rural character

Gain local control over zoning, development, and land use

Preserve community values

Support agricultural businesses

Avoid annexation by the city of Montgomery

Empower residents to make decisions that directly affect Snowdoun

Protect property values

Incorporation means:

Local Control

Protecting our land and agricultural heritage

Keeping decisions close to home

Having a say in zoning, development and services, taxation with representation.

Preserving our community's identity.

INCORPORATION FACTS:

The community must have 300 people to incorporate with residences being contiguous.

A petition signed by at least 15% of qualified electors within the proposed municipality must be submitted to the county probate judge as the official application.

No territory can be included unless at least four qualified electors reside on each 40-acre tract and sign the petition in support of incorporation.

The probate judge must order an election within 90 days of approving the petition.

After incorporation, property owners can request to be annexed into the town.
