What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live close together, but it's not officially a city or a village. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the county government takes care of things like roads, police, and fire services.
How is it Different from a City?
Cities and villages have their own local governments. They can make their own laws and collect taxes for local services. Unincorporated communities like Unionville rely on the county for these services. This can mean fewer local rules but also less direct control over local issues.
