HB 1865 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the allocation of low income housing tax credits.

HB 1865 amends Texas law to set new limits on the allocation of low-income housing tax credits. It caps credits at $6 million per application round and reduces the maximum per development from $3 million to $2 million. The changes apply only to applications submitted under the 2026 or later qualified allocation plans, not earlier cycles. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects developers and housing projects seeking these tax credits.
