All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed. ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the bill. Quote the text, not the summary. House Bill 1568 would expand the City of Woodstock's official boundaries to include roughly 139 specific tax parcels in the Townview Drive, Bobbie Way, and nearby industrial areas of Cherokee County. ### Plain-language summary The City of Woodstock's boundaries are set by a 1975 state charter that has been amended several times, most recently in 2012. This bill adds a new list of tax parcels to that charter so those properties officially become part of the city. The parcels are identified by their Cherokee County tax parcel numbers as recorded by the county tax assessors on March 1, 2026, and most include street addresses along Townview Drive, Bobbie Way, Industrial Drive, Dixie Drive, Bascomb Carmel Road, and Highway 92 in Woodstock. The bill does not change any other part of the city's charter or governing structure. It repeals any conflicting laws, a standard closing provision in Georgia local legislation. ### What it does - Adds a new subsection to the City of Woodstock's charter listing about 139 specific tax parcels that become part of the city's corporate limits. - Identifies each parcel by its Cherokee County Board of Tax Assessors parcel number as of March 1, 2026, and lists most street addresses. - Leaves the rest of the 1975 charter, as amended in 2012, unchanged aside from this boundary addition. - Repeals any existing state or local laws that conflict with the new boundary description. ### Who it affects Property owners and residents at the listed addresses along Townview Drive, Bobbie Way, Industrial Drive, Dixie Drive, Bascomb Carmel Road, and Highway 92 near Woodstock, who would become part of the city; also Cherokee County and City of Woodstock governments, which must update jurisdiction, services, and tax records accordingly. ### Why it matters Property owners in the newly annexed parcels would become subject to Woodstock city taxes, ordinances, and services such as police and zoning, instead of relying solely on Cherokee County. The change also affects which government provides utilities, permitting, and code enforcement for those properties. ### Key provisions - Section 1 amends Section 1.11 of the City of Woodstock's charter (Ga. L. 1975, p. 4160, as amended in 2012) by adding subsection (h), a list of tax parcels now included in the city limits. - The parcel list identifies each property by its Cherokee County tax parcel ID and, for most, a street address in Woodstock, GA 30189. - Section 2 repeals any laws or parts of laws that conflict with this Act, a standard housekeeping clause. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-05-11) - Last action: Effective Date 2026-05-11 (2026-05-11) - Sponsors: Brad Thomas, Don Parsons, Jan Jones, Rick Jasperse, Mitchell Scoggins, Jordan Ridley - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74185 > The history, votes, and amendments (887 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hb1568.md?full=1
