unincorporated
Outside city limits
Unincorporated describes an area that hasn't been organized into a municipality with its own local government.
An unincorporated community lacks a mayor, city council, or town services—residents rely on county or state governance instead: They live in an unincorporated part of the county.
In business contexts, unincorporated refers to entities not registered as corporations: an unincorporated partnership.
