Deannexation by a township could be done by a vote of the board of supervisors if a landowner makes such a request, but it may not bring the township below the minimum requirements. A referendum would also be required, as well for the township to be annexed by a municipality. Local legislation would be required to create a township or convert it to a municipality. It would also allow for the contracting of public utilities and public services, though the bill which passed the state senate added the exception of cable TV. The bill would also require a population density of 200 persons per square mile (77 persons/km 2), or one person per 3.2 acres), and that at least 10% of the included area be zoned or used for non- residential purposes. All other services and laws would remain the responsibility of the county.
It would give unincorporated areas of at least 500 acres (approximately two square kilometers or 0.8 square miles) the power to regulate zoning and other land use, and to levy a maximum annual property tax of a half-mill (0.5 ‰), managed by a board of supervisors selected in nonpartisan elections in odd-numbered years. The Georgia Township Act is a bill introduced in January 2007 in the Georgia General Assembly, which would for the first time create "townships" in the US state of Georgia.
