What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a settlement that does not have its own separate local government. It is not a city or a town. Instead, it is usually part of a larger county or township.
People living in these areas still get services. These services, like roads and police, are provided by the county or township government. It is different from a city, which has its own mayor and city council.
