They have to be "on the border" to request annexation(Costco and Celtic were). This is where it gets tricky for Kip and his cronies.....the MOLA is not on the border of incorporated BR. That means all of the property between the mall and BR proper would first have to be annexed. They can try, but it isn't cut and dry, and IMHO the MOLA owners aren't going to voluntarily raise taxes on themselves. If anything, they would wait for St. George to incorporate, and then have a tax bidding war with both entities. Again, assuming the property between them could even first be annexed.

The Mall of La won't necessarily be voluntarily raising taxes on itself. Sales tax will be the same. Property will go up, but they've said they get such a huge discount on fire insurance that it would make up for it.
