804 Steve ParksCities in North Carolina should in no way have the authority to annex areas that do not want to be annexed - especially when the city in question has nothing to offer. This is nothing more than the city hitting the lottery!!
805 amberI moved to the county for a reason - that is where I want to live. Had I wanted to live in the city - I would have moved there.
806 Deets McCullenLet's stop annexations without a vote of the citizens in the proposed annexed area.
807 AnonymousIt is clear that annexation statutes in NC are outdated, arbitrary, and clearly out-of-sinc with the wishes of most North Carolinians. A moratorium is mandatory until this issue can be studied by the General Assembly!
808 Anthony Scrufariit is time for the sate to think about the residents wants rather than the tax money

810 Kevin C LeukhardtAs a resident of Wayne county, I find it very unfair of the City of Goldsboro to force anyone that chooses to live in Wayne county to be annexed; for the simple reason of acquiring more tax revenue for a greedy municipality that takes drastic and expensive litigation against the families and retirees that worked so hard to make the city they live in a conducive community for growth, prosperity and attractive for businesses to locate here.
811 Jesse LeebI don't think cities/towns/villages, etc. should be able to annex anyone who doesn't want to be in the city.

817 Billie StoutI live in a small private community. Our community has been surveyed by Sunset Beach, NC which means they have intentions of annexation. Sunset Beach has annexed other communities without consent. Our community objects to annexation.

824 Rachel SpenceNO ANNEXATION!
825 Carlos FaulbornAnnexation is not beneficial to our community who are mostly retired people on fixed income who cannot afford the extra expenses that the annexation will couse for unnecessary projects.

828 David K. CoghillMake it fair let area's have a vote.
829 Gary FogleI believe that as an American each citizen should have the right to VOTE for things that affect them as being annexed into a city that just wants them to raise their tax base. I support a moratorium on annexation.
830 James A. Miller Jr.Irony: I live at Carolina Place, Brunswick County; according to news reports, both Southport and Oak Island choose to take us in. Us? No choice! We can't even choose between the two.

836 John StillI understand the municipalities desire to get a larger slice of the tax pie, but an individual also has the right to live in the type of community they purchased property in. They should have a say in the decision to annex or not just like the right to vote whether they want to incorperate or not.

841 Jean & Frank Schoenemanit's not right that if a city/town annexes you and you are still within the county, that you should have to pay double taxes, you already have the amenities, why have to pay twice if you don't need them. forced annexation should be stopped. it should be up to the homeowner whether they want to be annexed into town limits not pushed on you. what happened to our rights and the "no doulbe taxation" laws?

843 james martinI do not support forced annexations. I think if a city wants to annex personal property they should have to put it to a vote of the property owners.

845 AnonymousI moved to Brunswick County to stay out of a city. If I wanted to be in a city, I would move there. Please stop all involuntary annexation. It should be up to the individual property owner not a city to be annexed.

848 Barry StanleyIts not fair because we are not allowed a voice in this process. This benefits the politicians without concern for the tax payers. It should be up to the taxpayers to decide what should allowed happen to their own property.

850 Linda HearnI own property in Brunswick County and the Town of Oak Island wants to annex my property. I am opposed to unwanted, forced annexation.
