Protect your property. Let's work together to stop forced annexation.

The Issue

Our mission is simple: to ensure property owners and residents have the right to vote on the potential annexation of their property.

“Forced annexation” is a legal process by which property located in an unincorporated area of a county may become part of a neighboring city.

We believe forced annexation is un-Texan, yet state law currently allows cities in most counties (known as Tier 1 counties) to annex property without asking the owners or residents of that property for permission.

But on May 4, 2019, voters in Ellis and Montague Counties can vote to END FORCED ANNEXATION in those counties – by voting to become Tier 2 counties.

The #Vote4Tier2 movement is a community-based, non-partisan group dedicated to changing counties throughout Texas to Tier 2 status as it relates to municipal annexation.
