TO: | Honorable Rene Oliveira, Chair, House Committee on Land & Resource Management |
FROM: | John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1062 by Murphy (Relating to the exercise of the power of eminent domain by certain local governmental entities.), As Introduced |
The negative fiscal impact to a political subdivision could be significant, but would vary depending on the number of condemnations and the additional assessments the special commissioners would be required to consider in determining actual damages to a property owner.
According to the Texas Municipal League (TML), the negative fiscal impact to a municipality relating to the acquisition and compensation for real property could be significant, but would vary depending on the number of property acquisitions for which the additionally listed costs would be required, and therefore cannot be determined.
According to the Texas Association of Counties (TAC), the fiscal impact on counties that condemn properties could be significant. However, it is impossible to determine how many properties would be acquired through the condemnation process and the value of those properties. In addition, it is also impossible to know how many properties acquired through the condemnation process that would have to be acquired through another process in the future. Therefore, it is not possible to quantify the extent of the fiscal impact on counties.
