Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1207 amends the Local Government Code to provide that a zoning regulation relating to the exterior appearance of a single-family house or the landscaping of a single-family residential lot that is adopted after a residential subdivision plat is approved does not apply to that subdivision until the second anniversary of the later of: (1) the date the plat is approved; or (2) the date the municipality accepts the subdivision improvements dedicated for public use. The bill establishes that these provisions do not prevent a municipality from adopting or enforcing applicable building codes or from prohibiting the use of hazardous building materials.
