HB 2462 states that a city or town may annex territory that is a county owned park, a park operated on public lands by a county as part of a management agreement or land owned by a flood control district if otherwise agreed to by the board of supervisors.
A.R.S. § 9-471 establishes the procedures that are required to extend and increase the boundaries of a city or town through annexation. The first step in annexation is creating a petition that contains a description and map of the area to be annexed. Thirty days after the petition has been filed with the county recorder, signatures must be collected of more than one-half of the owners of real and personal property and more than one-half of the owners of real and personal property in the proposed annexation. The signatures must be collected within one year after the last day of the thirty-day waiting period prior to obtaining signatures. Once the signatures have been collected, the governing board of the city or town can adopt an ordinance annexing the territory that becomes final 30 days later.

· Establishes a process by which a city or town can return land to the county.
