Research notes

Determines whether city zoning (ch. 11-4) or county zoning (ch. 11-2) governs at the boundary fringe. ETJ overlap is a frequent ambiguity source on parcels near city limits. Verify ETJ election status — not all eligible cities have adopted ETJ zoning, and some have negotiated joint-jurisdiction MOUs with the surrounding county.
