What's the difference between an incorporate and an unincorporated town?

[QED]

Isn't it obvious?

An unincorporated town hasn't been "corporated"-- i.e. it has not formed its own goverment, so it doesn't have its own laws or management. Typically, unincorporated areas are managed (governed) by the next layer up on the government food chain--typically township (or in some cases, county) control.

Ones operating without a business license and the real town they are residing in will have their code enforcement officer giving them the what for.



edit: oh thats a horrible joke. I guess thats what I get for sitting next to the guy.

Unincorporated towns aren't even really towns. They have no rule of law and the populace pretty much governs itself, old west style. I don't think they're even technically part of the US, it's like international waters except it's down some dusty road in a neighboring county and not in the middle of the ocean. I'd stay out of there if I were you.
