Interlocal Service Boundary Agreements (ISBA)
The Florida Legislature provided the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement Act (FS 171-Part II) as an alternative to FS 171-Part I for local governments regarding the annexation of territory into a municipality. The intent of the act is to encourage local governments to jointly determine how to provide services to residents in the most efficient and effective manner while balancing the needs of the community. As a result, the use of FS 171-Part II encourages intergovernmental coordination in planning, service delivery, and boundary adjustments. It promotes sensible municipal boundaries that reduce costs and avoids duplicating local services.
Does the ISBA apply to my property? The provisions of the ISBA apply to only those properties located within the designated boundary. See the individual city's boundary map below.
Do I have to annex into the City? No. The ISBA allows voluntary annexations of property that may not normally meet the requirements of Florida Statutes, however, this agreement does not require you to annex. Cities are allowed to require annexation under certain conditions.
