What is an Unincorporated Community?
Imagine a neighborhood or a small group of homes that isn't officially a city or a town. That's an unincorporated community! People living there still follow the laws of the county and state they are in. They don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government usually takes care of things like roads and services.
