The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA). According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Latimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State Law.

The City agrees to pursue involuntary annexation of any parcel that becomes eligible for involuntary annexation. This property complies with State regulations by meeting the requirement for 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits.
