Why is it important to many land developers to be in city limits?

[Zachary Cook]

I’m following a course by VestRight about land development and a lot of the course is focused on getting land outside city limits to be annexed by the city so it can then be developed. My question is why is it so important for development of a subdivision to have a property considered to be within the city limits?

basically in most jurisdictions you must be in the city limits to access city water city sewer city storm drain.

power tele and internet and gas many times is separate and called franchise utilities and can be available to those out of the city limits.
