A:
In your situation, where a city has annexed property that includes a distillery on a county road, there are a few steps you can take to address your concerns. First, it's important to understand the specifics of the annexation process. Typically, a city can annex adjacent areas through legal procedures, but this process should be transparent and follow state and local laws.
If you believe the annexation or its consequences (like signage) are inappropriate or have been improperly handled, you can start by contacting local government officials. Inquire about the annexation process, express your concerns, and seek clarification on how decisions were made.
Another step is to review the zoning and planning regulations for the area. These documents can provide insight into what is allowed in terms of property use and signage in both the city and the county.
If you're planning to move into the area and are concerned about how these changes affect your property, consider speaking with a real estate attorney. They can help you understand your rights as a property owner in this context and advise on possible actions you can take.
Remember, local government decisions can often be influenced by residents' feedback. Attending city council meetings and voicing your concerns can also be an effective way to seek change or more information.
It's important to stay informed and actively participate in local governance to protect your interests and ensure that your concerns are addressed.
