This article explores the impact of 15 separate provisions of state annexation laws on seven different measures of annexation activity. This analysis uses annexation data from 42 states between 1990 and 1998. The analysis finds that there are different patterns of annexation activity for laws designed to constrain annexation, as compared with laws designed to facilitate annexation. Laws designed to facilitate annexation are likely to be associated with high levels of annexation activity. On the other hand, laws designed to constrain annexation are not very likely to have lower levels of activity.

State legislatures establish ground rules for annexation, the process whereby municipalities add territory to their boundaries. Studies have shown that statutory provisions significantly affect rates of annexation. This article documents current annexation practice based on analyses of state annexation statutes & a survey of municipal experts. Approaches to annexation are classified according to typologies developed previously by other researchers, which are replicated & critiqued. The authors reclassify annexation approaches using current data & new criteria in an attempt to improve upon past schemes. Results indicate that, over time, more states have decreased the ability of municipalities to act unilaterally & have increased the power of residents to influence annexation proceedings, including the right to referenda. 4 Tables, 25 References.
