Relating to county regulation of subdivisions and approval of subdivision plans or plats.

HB 2384 modifies Texas county regulations for subdivision plats. It prohibits counties from requiring subdivision maps (plats) for two specific cases: (1) agricultural land used primarily for farming, ranching, or timber (as defined in the Texas Constitution), and (2) subdivisions where all lots exceed 10 acres without planned streets or common areas. The bill also allows counties in groundwater management areas to set water use requirements when platting is required, if needed to prevent exceeding water supply limits. These changes directly affect landowners subdividing property outside city limits and county governments managing land development rules. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
