The Netherlands

The Netherlands has had regular periods with unincorporated land when newly reclaimed land polders fall dry. Unincorporated land is since medieval times administered by an appointed officer with the name Landdrost or Drossaart. Also, Elten and Tudderen, both annexed from Germany after World War II, were governed by a Landdrost until they were ceded to Germany in 1963.
The last period with unincorporated land started in 1967 when the dyke around Southern Flevoland was closed. It however requires several years before the polder is genuinely accessible for cultivation and construction of roads and homes can start, as in the first years the soil is equivalent to quick sand. During the initial period of inhabitation a special, government appointed officer is installed, who is called Landdrost. During the administrative office of a Landdrost there is no municipal council.
In 1975 the first homes in what is now the city of Almere were built and from 1976 till 1984 the area was governed by the Landdrost as the executive of the Openbaar Lichaam Zuidelijk Flevoland. In 1984 the Landdrost became the first mayor of the new city Almere. Since that date the Netherlands does not have any unincorporated areas.

Countries without unincorporated places

Many countries, especially those with many centuries of history using multiple tiers of local government, do not use the concept of an unincorporated place.
.
  • In the United Kingdom the whole of the country, rural and urban, has been covered by a two or three-tier system of local government for many centuries (although many of the larger conurbations now have single tier or unitary local governments).
  • Spanish constitution says that the land is divided in Autonomous Communities, provinces and municipalities.^ As noted earlier, many elderly householders reside in dwelling units that are entirely too large for one or two people.

     ^ Counties shall establish boundaries of unincorporated communities in order to distinguish lands within the community from exception areas, resource lands and other rural lands.
    • Dept. of Land Conservation and Development_660_022 11 September 2009 11:43 UTC arcweb.sos.state.or.us [Source type: Reference]

     Each of those entities have certain powers determined by law. Autonomous Communities and municipalities are enabled to appellate any public decision which violates their autonomy from the other entities (i.e. State or Autonomous Community power) before the Constitutional Court.
  • In South Africa the latest constitution gave every place in the country democratically elected third-tier government.
  • In Brazil and Mexico, all land must belong to a municipality. Even large uninhabited areas, such as forests or grasslands, are by law part of the nearest "city". This is because in Latin America, a "municipality" is the equivalent of what in the United States and Canada is called a "County".

  • a neighborhood or other community existing outside of an incorporated municipal government, or away from a larger urbanized area.^ Under Texas' Municipal Annexation Act of 1963, cities have certain powers over surrounding unincorporated areas, termed the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.
