Can Town of James Island residents annex property into the City?

No. If a property is currently in the Town, the property cannot be annexed. If a property is in the City, it also cannot be annexed by the Town. However, many areas of the previous Town of James Island prior to 2011 are not included in the current Town boundaries. This means that some properties are located in unincorporated areas that are neither in the Town nor in the City. These properties are eligible to annex into the City of Charleston.

Not all former residents of the Town of James Island are eligible to join the City. To see if your property is eligible to annex into the City, email us to find out.
