Karen - Thank you for explaining the differences in governanace in the various areas of Virginia.
Karen, We also fly the flag proudly in Spring and we have no mayor, no city, no town we are actually an unincorporated section of Harris County and Spring is just a way to describe us. We are a huge area in 3 different school districts. In all truthfulness we would love to be able to incorporate but we are a cash cow for Houston so that is not going to happen so we will just fly our flag proudly!
Karen I like the phrase " we have been doing it as long as there has been a United States" yes each area has a unique way of operating. Here the school district can be in two different counties and you live in one town but your post office is in another.
Pam It is unusual
Marchel The difference is that the county is our principal form of government
Jennifer That would confuse me :)
Karen, Here I thought we were unique. Our principle form of government is also the county; everything for us is taken care of through Harris County Precinct 4. They have our courthouse , constable etc. We are in the same county as Houston but we are not a part. (Our county is bigger than 17 states.) We don't have a common water though so water has to be taken care of by Municipal Utility Districts. We happen to be in a MUD that is fairly young which gives us a fairly high MUD tax also. Our area is in three different school districts also. It can get very confusing!!!
Marchel Well, I am confused, but there is a great deal of similarity in our respective systems. Thank you for all the input - I learned a lot :)
Karen, LOL, I have to admit it has been a confusing area to live in. It does sound like we have very similar areas. It is nice to know that we are not alone!! I live in Spring but have a Tomball phone number and do most of my shopping in The Woodlands.
Karen - how very interesing and so different from where I live now. I think it may have been like that in Colorado - but that was so long ago I can't remember how it worked. Here all the cities govern themselves and right now the budget is the biggest issue for all of them. Quite the mess.
Marchel And I thought we were unique. Oh, well LOL
Anna It would appear your system is more the norm
Karen Your post went a long way in explaining our unique form of local government in Virginia. It is not the easiest thing in the world to explain
