The following definitions of terms shall be applicable throughout this petition and every subsequent step of the annexation proceeding commenced pursuant to this petition: a.
Landowner: means the owner in fee of any undivided interest in a given parcel of land. If the mineral estate has been severed, the landowner is the owner in fee of an individual interest in the surface estate and not the owner in fee of an individual interest in the mineral estate. In the case of multiple landowners, such as tenants in common or joint tenants, only one such landowner need petition for annexation, and the signature of one such landowner shall be sufficient, provided however, that said signing landowner had become liable for taxes in the last preceding calendar year or is exempt by law from payment of taxes, and provide further, that no other owner in fee of an individual interest of the same property objects to the annexation of the said property within 14 days after the filing of the annexation petition by submitting a written statement of his objections to the City Council. A purchaser of real property shall be deemed a landowner for the purpose of an annexation petition if: (1)
The said purchaser is purchasing the land pursuant to a written contract duly recorded, and
(2)
The said purchaser has paid the taxes thereon for the next preceding tax year.
A corporation, non-profit, owning land shall be deemed a landowner, and the same persons authorized to convey land for the corporation shall sign the within petition on behalf of such corporation. b. Nonresident Landowner: means any person owning property in the area proposed to be annexed, who is not a qualified elector as herein below defined, and who is at least eighteen (18) years of age as attested to by a sworn affidavit. c.
Identical Ownership: means a situation where each owner has exactly the same degree of interest in a separate parcel of two or more parcels of land. d. Contiguous: means that one-sixth of the boundary of the territory proposed for annexation and the city limits must coincide. Contiguity as referred to in this petition or subsequent annexation proceedings is not affected by the existence of a platted street or alley, public or private transportation right-of-way or area, or a lake, reservoir, stream, or other natural or artificial waterway between the city limits of the city of Boulder and the territory to be annexed. 4.
This petition must be filed with the City Clerk of the city of Boulder.
5.
This petition should be filed in the following manner: a. All blanks herein contained should be filled out and completed. b. Each signer shall, before signing said petition, carefully read the contents hereof. c.

This petition shall be accompanied by at least four copies of an annexation map containing the following information: 1. A written legal description of the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed. 2. A map showing the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed. 3. Within the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed, the location of each ownership tract in unplatted land and, if part or all of the area has been platted, the boundaries and the plat numbers of the plots or of the lots and blocks shall be shown. 4.
