Additional Information

Additionally, this bill modified the duties of the Lieutenant Governor, County Surveyors, and County Recorders in the process of certifying local government boundary and name changes. Section 20 (FINAL PLATS OF LOCAL ENTITY BOUNDARY ACTIONS) was added to Title 17, Chapter 23, of the Utah Code.

This addition requires the county surveyor to review and approve any boundary action that establishes, modifies, or eliminates the boundary of a local entity, including the incorporation, annexation, withdrawal consolidation, division, boundary adjustment or dissolution of the local entity.
