What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own local government. Cities and towns have their own rules and services, like police and fire departments, managed by their own elected officials. In an unincorporated community, these services are usually provided by the larger county government. This means residents pay taxes to the county, and the county decides how to spend that money on things like roads and public safety for everyone in the county, including those in unincorporated areas.
