Relating to the amendment of restrictive covenants applicable to certain subdivisions.
HB 1006 allows owners in specific older subdivisions to amend restrictive covenants that limit land use. It applies to multi-zoned subdivisions platted before 1965, containing over 900 lots, spanning multiple municipalities, and with portions zoned for uses not permitted by current restrictions. Owners must approve changes by a 67% vote of lots in the affected area, using ballots mailed to addresses in county records and clearly stating the amendment's scope and deadline. The bill streamlines the process for updating outdated land-use rules in complex subdivisions without requiring full municipal approval.
