What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live that doesn't have its own official city or town government. Instead, it's usually managed by the larger county government around it. This means residents don't have a mayor or city council just for their small area. They rely on the county for services like roads, police, and fire protection. Many small towns and settlements across the United States are unincorporated communities.
