HB 2225 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the approval of land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and impact fees.

HB 2225 requires local governments (cities and counties) to publicly share land use assumptions and capital improvement plans at least 60 days before related hearings. It mandates that impact fees must be approved by a 3/4 vote of the governing body within 30 days of a public hearing, and limits any fee increases to once every five years from the fee's adoption or last increase. The bill also requires public disclosure of proposed fee changes per service unit before hearings on amendments. These provisions aim to increase transparency and control over development-related fees imposed by local governments.
