(A) A petition filed under section 709.021 of the Revised Code that requests to follow this section is for the special procedure of annexing land
with the consent of all parties. The petition shall be accompanied by a certified copy of an annexation agreement
provided for in section 709.192 of the Revised Code or of a cooperative economic development agreement provided for in section 701.07 of the Revised Code , that is entered into by the municipal corporation and each township any portion
of which is included within the territory proposed for annexation. Upon the receipt of the petition and the applicable agreement, the board of county
commissioners, at the board's next regular session, shall enter upon its journal a
resolution granting the annexation, without holding a hearing. (B) Owners who sign a petition requesting that the special procedure in this section
be followed expressly waive their right to appeal any action taken by the board of
county commissioners under this section. There is no appeal from the board's decision under this section in law or in equity. The petition circulated to collect signatures for the special procedure in this section
shall contain in boldface capital letters immediately above the heading of the place
for signatures on each part of the petition the following: “WHOEVER SIGNS THIS PETITION
EXPRESSLY WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO APPEAL ANY ACTION ON THE PETITION TAKEN BY THE BOARD
OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THERE ALSO IS NO APPEAL FROM THE BOARD'S DECISION IN THIS MATTER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY.” (C) After the board of county commissioners grants the petition for annexation, the clerk
of the board shall deliver a certified copy of the entire record of the annexation
proceedings, including all resolutions of the board, signed by a majority of the members
of the board, the petition, map, and all other papers on file, and the recording of
the proceedings, if a copy is available, to the auditor or clerk of the municipal
corporation to which annexation is proposed.
