Legal Requirements for Reporting Annexations There are both federal and state legal requirements for the reporting of annexations. The federal requirements focus on preclearance for the annexation according to provisions of the Voting Rights Act. This is also a state requirement according to OCGA 36-36-3(f). Please refer to the links below for guidance with the federal reporting requirements. The state requirements for reporting are very simple and our Web-based Annexation Report System or the paper forms for FAX and mail reports (available above) will guide you through the entire process. The specific state code is provided in the section and link below.
