= City limits
{wiki=City_limits}
"City limits" refers to the boundaries that define the legal jurisdiction of a city. These limits mark the area within which a city government has authority to enact laws, collect taxes, provide services, and regulate land use. Outside these boundaries, the city typically has no control, and jurisdiction may be handled by a county or other governmental entities. City limits can also affect various aspects like zoning, service provision (such as water and sewage), and law enforcement.
