Senate Bill 1303 will require that notice be given to each property owner who will be included in the expanded ETJ of a proposed annexation plan. Notice must include, among other things, a list of municipal ordinances that would be applicable in the expanded ETJ.

The municipality will also be required to bear the cost of creating and maintaining the digital map and ensuring it is accessible to the public.
