What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that is not part of an official city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's located in. People in these communities still have homes, schools, and businesses, but they rely on the county for services like roads and law enforcement.
