Politician Archive

Me and a few of my friends have hada small cluster of our houses and factories near espa since a week or two after launch, but if someone comes in now and plops down a cityhall near us do we automatically have to join the new city? Even if we dont, will our buildings still be taxed?

You do not have to join the city. Any structure within the city limits will be taxed. You will see you maintenance rate increase by whatever amount the tax is. You have no ability to exclude your structures from the city.
