§ 268.663. Inclusion of county road, state highway or railroad in annexed territory
When a city annexes territory which is not included within its existing boundaries,
the territory annexed includes the following: 1. If the annexed territory abuts upon one side of a county road, state highway or
railroad and the territory which abuts upon the opposite side of the road, highway
or railroad is not within the boundaries of the annexing city, the annexed territory
extends to the middle of the road, highway or railroad. The governing body of a city may, at the request of the board of county commissioners
of the county in which the city is located, annex the remaining portion of the road,
highway or railroad, and that portion of any county road which is then included in
the annexed territory becomes a city street. 2. If the annexed territory abuts upon a county road, state highway or railroad on
both sides of the road, highway or railroad, or if the annexed territory abuts upon
one side of a county road, state highway or railroad and the territory which abuts
upon the opposite side of the road, highway or railroad is within the existing boundaries
of the annexing city, the annexed territory includes the portion of road, highway
or railroad so abutted on both sides, and the portion of the county road which is
included in the annexed territory becomes a city street. 3. If the annexed territory is a subdivision, the portions of the county roads which
provide the primary access to the subdivision are also annexed and become city streets.
