What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. Because it doesn't have its own local government, the county takes care of many things. This includes services like maintaining roads, providing police protection, and managing fire departments. It's like a neighborhood that is part of a larger county area.
