Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>City limits represent the corporate boundary for the City of Fort Worth. The initial boundaries were set in the city's charter and have regularly expanded through a series of ordinances in a process called Annexation. This data is managed by Fort Worth's Development Services department and is updated regularly as new annexations are completed. For more about Annexation, see Development Services' <a href='https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/development-services/annexation' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Annexation Program page</a>.<div><br /></div><div> Annexed areas fall into two categories: full purpose and limited purpose. This data includes polygons marked with a designation of either full purpose or limited purpose. Per Chapter 24 of the comprehensive plan:<div><ul><li><b>Full-purpose annexation</b> includes an area into Fort Worth and provides full municipal services including emergency response, public facilities, and maintenance of roadways and stormwater/drainage services. The city enforces all ordinances and assesses property taxes as well as sales taxes. </li><li><b>Limited-purpose annexation</b>: Fort Worth enforces planning, zoning, and health and safety ordinances. The property owners do not pay City property taxes, and the City does not provide police or fire protection, roadway maintenance, or other services. Residents can vote in City Council and charter elections, but not bond elections, and cannot run for office. The City must annex an area for full purposes within three years after limited- purpose annexation, unless a majority of the affected landowners and the City agree to extend the deadline </li></ul></div></div></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
