HB 3509 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a common characteristic or use project in a public improvement district in certain municipalities.

HB 3509 amends Texas law to change how hotel owners can form public improvement districts for property enhancements. It requires petitions to be signed by hotel management (like owners, general managers, or regional managers) and show signers represent over 60% of both the hotel property's appraised value and either the number of hotels or total hotel area in the district. This applies specifically to districts in certain municipalities where hotels are the primary focus. The bill directly affects hotel businesses seeking to fund district improvements through property assessments.
