Newnan council moves to begin annexation proceedings for 27 —island' parcels
Summary
The council voted unanimously to begin annexation steps for 27 unincorporated "island" parcels surrounded by Newnan city limits; staff noted all have municipal water and some connect to city sewer, and five claim homestead exemption.
Newnan — The Newnan City Council voted unanimously May 13 to start annexation proceedings for 27 so-called "island" parcels: properties in unincorporated Coweta County that are completely surrounded by Newnan city limits.
City staff told council that all 27 parcels receive municipal water service and eight use Newnan Utilities' sewer system. Five of the parcels claim homestead exemption, indicating owner-occupancy and potential tax-exemption implications at the county and school-tax level.
Council approved moving forward with steps to initiate annexation proceedings; no vote count beyond unanimous approval was recorded in the meeting record. Staff did not present a formal ordinance on the floor; the vote authorized the administrative and legal steps necessary to begin the process.
The council did not specify a timeline for completion in the meeting; follow-up materials in the agenda packet describe the parcels and utility connections.
