November 2023 was the first month the city of Mobile collected sales tax from businesses in the newly annexed areas.
The City of Mobile is still in the process of completing annexation, and city leaders are working to inform new residents of what to expect.
The city of Mobile is now the second-largest city in the state after residents in three out of four areas voted to become part of the city.
The City of Mobile is hosting a special event Wednesday to explain to residents in the proposed annexation areas how becoming part of the city would benefit them.
“Saying this is taxation without representation and this is the way for them to be included is a distortion of what they’re really trying to do."
Residents west of the city of Mobile will vote on July 18 on an annexation plan approved by the city council.
