County Government - As introduced, authorizes certain counties to, by the adoption of a resolution by a two-thirds vote of the county legislative body, impose a moratorium on the development of property, including property within the boundaries of a municipality, for apartment complexes. - Amends TCA Title 5.

HB 1161 allows counties with over 325,000 residents (based on 2020 census) to temporarily pause new apartment complex development (25+ units) within their borders, including areas inside cities, by passing a two-thirds vote resolution. The moratorium lasts one year but can be extended annually with another two-thirds vote. It does not apply to counties with metro governments or projects with existing development rights. This bill directly affects county governments and developers planning multi-family housing in qualifying large-county areas.
