\/>\nOn June 5, 2025, the City Council of Excelsior Springs adopted Ordinance No. 25-06-03, calling for an<br \/>\nelection on November 4, 2025, to submit to the registered voters of the City the question of annexing<br \/>\ncertain adjacent territory, including your property, into the City limits. This action is taken pursuant to<br \/>\nSection 77.020 RSMo, which allows third-class cities like Excelsior Springs to extend their boundaries<br \/>\nwith the approval of a majority of voters within the existing city limits.<\/p>\n<p>The City Council believes that annexing this area would promote the orderly growth and development of<br \/>\nour community, enable more efficient provision of municipal services, and support the long-term<br \/>\nplanning objectives of the City. The City also believes that annexation will provide a timely and practical<br \/>\nresponse to increasing development pressures in the area. By incorporating this territory into the City<br \/>\nlimits, Excelsior Springs will be better positioned to offer more responsive governance, ensure<br \/>\nconsistent application of land use regulations, and protect the long-term interests of current and future<br \/>\nresidents. Moreover, the area proposed for annexation lies within the City\u2019s logical growth pattern. Its<br \/>\nproximity to existing development and infrastructure makes it well-suited for future integration into the<br \/>\nCity\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13547 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fire-Service-area.jpg\" alt=\"Excelsior Springs Fire Service Area Map\n\" width=\"900\" height=\"1165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fire-Service-area.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fire-Service-area-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fire-Service-area-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fire-Service-area-768x994.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13548 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Building_Permits-New_Construction.jpg\" alt=\"Excelsior Springs Building Permits for New Construction with Utilities\nMap\n\" width=\"900\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Building_Permits-New_Construction.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Building_Permits-New_Construction-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Building_Permits-New_Construction-768x546.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION<\/strong><br \/>\nCLAY COUNTY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteclaycountymo.gov\/voter-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.voteclaycountymo.gov\/voter-registration<\/a><br \/>\nRAY COUNTY: <a href=\"https:\/\/raycountymo.com\/index.php\/ray-county-clerk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/raycountymo.com\/index.php\/ray-county-clerk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Information Provided and Paid for by City of Excelsior Springs.<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>201 E Broadway, Excelsior Springs, MO 64024<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>City Manager Molly McGovern<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INFORMATION TO VOTERS: General Election, Tuesday, November 4, 2025 The Excelsior Springs City Council has placed a question on the Tuesday, November 4, 2025, ballot of whether or not to <span class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/excelsior-springs-question-annexation\/\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-13411","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13411"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13550,"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13411\/revisions\/13550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofesmo.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
