1Opinion of the Court
Barnes, Judge.
After the City of Buford annexed arid rezoned a piece of property, Gwinnett County filed a declaratory judgment action seeking to have the annexation voided. The County argued that the property was not “contiguous” as defined by OCGA § 36-36-31, being separated from the city boundary by three parcels of property, including one owned by Georgia Power Company. The trial court agreed with the County and declared, the annexation void. The City appeals, contending that the trial court erred. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial court’s decision to void the annexation.
