In law, an unincorporated area is a region of land that is not governed by a local municipal corporation; similarly an unincorporated community is a settlement that is not governed by its own local municipal corporation, but rather is administered as part of larger administrative divisions, such as a township, parish, borough, county, city, canton, state, province or country.
Inkorporeerimata ala on piirkond, mida ei valitse kohalik omavalitsusüksus; sarnaselt on inkorporeerimata kogukond asula, mida ei valitse kohalik omavalitsusüksus, vaid seda hallatakse osana suuremast haldusüksusest, nagu küla, vald, alevik, maakond, linn, kanton, osariik, provints või riik.
