Unincorporated area
An unincorporated area is a parcel of land that is not governed by a local general-purpose municipal corporation.[1] They may be governed or serviced by an encompassing unit (such as a county) or another branch of the state (such as the military). There are many unincorporated communities and areas in the United States and Canada, but many countries do not use the concept of an unincorporated area.

In other parts of the country, such as the South and West, other parts remain unincorporated. These latter areas are not served by local general-purpose municipal governments, but rather by county services.
