Relating to the imposition of a county housing first initiatives fee in certain counties.

HB 3205 would allow Texas counties with populations over 500,000 to impose a fee on residents when they pay certain existing county fees (like property or business licenses). The revenue must be deposited into a dedicated account and can only fund specific housing initiatives: emergency shelter expansion, homelessness prevention, street outreach, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing programs. County commissioners must adopt the fee at an open meeting and include it in the annual budget. The bill directly affects residents in large counties who pay those specific county fees, with funds strictly limited to supporting homelessness-related services.
