§ 6-51-121. Recording of annexation resolution by annexing municipality.

Upon referendum approval of an annexation resolution as provided in this part, an annexing municipality shall record the resolution with the register of deeds in the county or counties where the annexation was adopted or approved. The resolution must include a detailed description of the annexed territory, including, but not limited to, map and parcel numbers of all real property within the annexed territory. A copy of the resolution, map, and detailed description must be sent to the comptroller of the treasury and the assessor of property for each county affected by the annexation. Acts 2011, ch. 111, § 1; 2015, ch. 512, § 9; 2019, ch. 120, § 1. Compiler's Notes. Acts 2015, ch. 512, § 18 provided that the act take effect at 12:01 a.m. on May 16, 2015. However, the governor signed the act and it became law on May 20, 2015. Pursuant to Article II, § 20, of the Constitution of Tennessee, the act takes effect 40 days after the bill became law.
