IN RE:
SB1575 by Rodríguez (Relating to county regulation of lots in platted subdivisions that have remained undeveloped for 25 years or more.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to permit certain commissioners courts to implement a process to regulate lots in platted subdivisions that have remained undeveloped for 25 years or more. The bill specifies that a regulation or standard adopted by a county be no less stringent than certain other minimum standards and requirements. Under the provisions of the bill, an adopted regulation or standard would apply only to a lot of land that is owned by an individual, firm, corporation or other legal entity that offers lots for sale or lease and the ordinance or standard must expressly state the limitation.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
