What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that does not have its own city or town government. Instead, it is usually governed by the county it is in. This is different from a city or town, which has its own mayor, city council, and local laws. People in unincorporated communities still get services like roads and police, but these are often provided by the county.
Where is Maud Located?
