nonincorporated
Lacking corporate status
Nonincorporated describes an area or community that hasn't been officially established as a municipality with its own local government.
Nonincorporated areas fall under county or regional jurisdiction rather than having their own mayor, city council, or municipal services: They live in a nonincorporated part of the county.
Also spelled unincorporated, which is more common.
