Full text of Illinois Illinois Compiled Statutes § 11-15.1-1, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 11-15.1-1.
The corporate authorities of any municipality may enter into an annexation agreement with one or more of the owners of record of land in unincorporated territory. That land may be annexed to the municipality in the manner provided in Article 7 at the time the land is or becomes contiguous to the municipality. The agreement shall be valid and binding for a period of not to exceed 20 years from the date of its execution. Lack of contiguity to the municipality of property that is the subject of an annexation agreement does not affect the validity of the agreement whether approved by the corporate authorities before or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1990. This amendatory Act of 1990 is declarative of existing law and does not change the substantive operation of this Section. (Source: P.A. 86-1169; 87-1137.)
