unincorporate
Revoke corporate status
Unincorporate means to reverse or undo incorporation—to dissolve a corporate entity or remove an area from municipal status.
A town might unincorporate to escape taxes or regulations, reverting to unincorporated county territory: The struggling village voted to unincorporate.
The word is rare; unincorporated (describing something never incorporated) is far more common.
