About the Incorporation Study
The Woodlands Township conducted an Incorporation Planning Study to allow the Township Board and community to engage in dialogue related to the future governance of The Woodlands, and to determine if the Township will incorporate as a city in the future. Below is a Q and A module and additional information about the study.

Notice regarding questions related to the incorporation election:
On August 13, 2021, The Woodlands Township Board of Directors called an Incorporation Election to be held on November 2, 2021. Now that an election has been called, State law prohibits political subdivisions, such as The Woodlands Township, from spending public money or using public property for “political advertising,” which is advocacy for or against a proposition on the ballot of a called election. The Township may provide factual information about incorporation and the election, but it may be a criminal offense if such information urges persons to vote in a particular manner. Accordingly, in answering any questions on the Q&A portal, the Township employees and officers may not engage in debate about the merits or demerits of incorporating as a city. Questions that are either critical or supportive of incorporation may only be answered with factual information.
