RCW 35A.14.120 Direct petition method -- Notice to legislative
body -- Meeting -- Assumption of indebtedness -- Proposed zoning regulation -- Contents of
petition.
Proceedings for initiating annexation of unincorporated territory to a charter code city or
noncharter code city may be commenced by the filing of a petition of property owners of the
territory proposed to be annexed, in the following manner. This method of annexation shall be
alternative to other methods provided in this chapter. Prior to the circulation of a petition for
annexation, the initiating party or parties, who shall be the owners of not less than ten percent in
value, according to the assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which
annexation is sought, shall notify the legislative body of the code city in writing of their intention
to commence annexation proceedings. The legislative body shall set a date, not later than sixty
days after the filing of the request, for a meeting with the initiating parties to determine whether
the code city will accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation, whether it
shall require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, if such a proposal has
been prepared and filed for the area to be annexed as provided for in RCW 35A.14.330 and
35A.14.340, and whether it shall require the assumption of all or of any portion of existing city
indebtedness by the area to be annexed. If the legislative body requires the assumption of all or
of any portion of indebtedness and/or the adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, it shall
record this action in its minutes and the petition for annexation shall be so drawn as to clearly
indicate these facts. Approval by the legislative body shall be a condition precedent to
circulation of the petition. There shall be no appeal from the decision of the legislative body. A
petition for annexation of an area contiguous to a code city may be filed with the legislative body
of the municipality to which annexation is desired. It must be signed by the owners, as defined
by RCW 35A.01.040(9) (a) through (d), of not less than sixty percent in value, according to the
assessed valuation for general taxation of the property for which annexation is petitioned:
PROVIDED, That a petition for annexation of an area having at least eighty percent of the
boundaries of such area contiguous with a portion of the boundaries of the code city, not
including that portion of the boundary of the area proposed to be annexed that is coterminous
with a portion of the boundary between two counties in this state, need be signed by only the
owners of not less than fifty percent in value according to the assessed valuation for general
taxation of the property for which the annexation is petitioned. Such petition shall set forth a
description of the property according to government legal subdivisions or legal plats and shall be
accompanied by a map which outlines the boundaries of the property sought to be annexed. If
the legislative body has required the assumption of all or any portion of city indebtedness by the
area annexed or the adoption of a proposed zoning regulation, these facts, together with a
quotation of the minute entry of such requirement, or requirements, shall also be set forth in the
petition. [1989 c 351 § 6; 1979 ex.s. c 124 § 8; 1967 ex.s. c 119 § 35A.14.120.]
