House Bill 2496 amends the Local Government Code to prohibit certain municipalities from designating a property as a local historic landmark unless the owner of the property consents to the designation or the designation is approved by the governing body of the municipality and the zoning, planning, or historical commission of the municipality. The bill requires the municipality to timely provide the owner of the property with a historic designation impact statement and to allow the owner to withdraw consent at any time during the designation process.
