What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own separate local government. This means it doesn't have a mayor or a city council that makes rules just for that specific area.

  • Instead, services like keeping roads in good shape, providing police protection, and managing local issues are usually handled by the larger county government.
  • Think of it like a neighborhood that is part of a bigger county area, rather than being its own independent city.
