Annexation
Description Annexation is the process that transfers unincorporated territory from towns to a city or village. As set forth in state statutes, there are five different annexation methods. ​Of these, annexation by unanimous approval accounts for the vast majority of annexations statewide.
   1. Annexation by Unanimous Approval (§ 66.0217 (2) Wis. Stats.)
   2. Annexation by One-Half Approval (§ 66.0217 (3)(a) Wis. Stats.)
   3. Annexation by Referendum (§ 66.0217 (3)(b) Wis. Stats.)
   4. Annexation by City or Village Initiated Referendum (§ 66.0219 Wis. Stats.)
   5. Annexation of Town Islands (§ 66.0221 Wis. Stats.)
   6. Annexation of Territory Owned by a City or Village (§ 66.0223 Wis. Stats.)
