What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live together, but it's not a legally recognized town or city. It doesn't have a mayor or its own city council. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's in.

How These Communities Work

People in unincorporated communities still get services like roads and police. These services are provided by the larger county government. This is different from a city, which would have its own police and public works departments.
