Little Elm's Town Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday on whether to annex an approximately 11.693-acre tract of land into the town.

The hearing is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, at Town Hall, 100 W. Eldorado Parkway.

What is proposed

The tract sits within the Marsella Jones Survey, Abstract No. 662, inside Little Elm's extraterritorial jurisdiction in Denton County, according to the town's notice. Annexation would bring the land formally into the town, putting it under Little Elm's ordinances, services and taxing authority.

The town has not stated in the notice what development, if any, is planned for the tract, and annexation hearings address the boundary question itself.

How to take part

The hearing is the public's opportunity to speak before the council acts. Residents who want to participate virtually can contact the town at (214) 975-0472 for arrangements, per the notice.

The annexation question arrives during a busy civic stretch: the town's proposed budget for the coming fiscal year was presented to the council Aug. 4, with adoption scheduled for Sept. 1.
