Indiana Court of Appeals
Floyd County and Floyd County Plan Commission v. City of New Albany and New Albany City Plan Commission
22A05-1303-MI-139
Miscellaneous. Affirms summary judgment for the city on a lawsuit over whether the city or county has zoning jurisdiction over an unincorporated area outside the city limits. As a matter of law, the county is not entitled to exercise jurisdiction over the fringe area, nor is it required to consent to the city’s exercise of jurisdiction. Because the county has a population of less than 95,000, Indiana Code 36-7-4-205(f) determines which entity is entitled to exercise jurisdiction over the fringe area, and because the city is providing municipal services to the fringe area, it is entitled to the exercise of jurisdiction without the necessity of county approval.

Tell us why you love the law

In the course of reporting on legal news throughout the state, IL reporters and editors have the opportunity to talk with many attorneys. One thing we hear often is how much lawyers truly love and are inspired by the practice of law. While some days their relationship with the law is a love/hate affair, many lawyers tell us that their passion for the law was sparked early, and if they had it all to do again they’d still choose a life in the law.

We invite you to tell us why you love the law. Please send your submission – 100 words or less – to IL Managing Editor Jennifer Nelson at [email protected]. Deadline for submissions is today! In honor of Valentines Day, short vignettes will be published in the Feb. 12 issue of Indiana Lawyer.
