Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE, 89TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
April 4, 2025
TO:
Honorable Paul Bettencourt, Chair, Senate Committee on Local Government
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB844 by Hughes (Relating to procedures for changes to a zoning regulation or district boundary.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
There could be an impact to municipalities if the attorney general determines they have violated provisions of the bill. The municipality would not be able to adopt an ad valorem tax rate that exceeds the municipality's no-new-revenue tax rate for the three tax years that begin on or after the date of the determination.
