Idaho rewrote its annexation law in 2024, but the statute still grants an appeal only for a “city-initiated” annexation, a phrase described by process not by definition. The neighbors just outside a landowner-requested annexation, who cannot vote for the council deciding it, are left with a demanding lawsuit, a zoning appeal with a 14-day deadline, and appeals of later plats. Striking “city-initiated” from section 50-222(14) would let them appeal.https://nohuetterbypass.com/enrich/posts/2023/03/22-senate-bill-1062-judicial-review/Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0700https://nohuetterbypass.com/enrich/posts/2023/03/22-senate-bill-1062-judicial-review/Brian Rogers asks the sponsors of Idaho Senate Bill 1062, Rep. Julianne Young and Sen. Julie VanOrden, to change the bill so that any form of annexation can be taken to court, citing Justice Bakes’s dissent in Burt v. City of Idaho Falls (1983). On November 6, 2023, he sends the email to them again.
