Effective May 19, 1998, Public Acts 1998, Chapter 1101, was a new law governing annexation and incorporation in Tennessee. Changes in annexation and incorporation included a required countywide land use planning process that limits annexations and incorporations to certain areas and subjects them to new restrictions. The law also gave counties a major new role in the annexation planning process and in annexation and incorporation decisions. It also preserved their revenues in newly-annexed and incorporated territories.
