Relating to the authority of a municipality or county to regulate condominiums.
HB 4812 clarifies that local governments cannot treat condominiums differently than other similar housing developments. It prohibits municipalities or counties from requiring condominiums to follow subdivision mapping rules (like plat approvals) or imposing unique restrictions not applied to identical non-condo properties. The bill specifically states condo declarations are not considered "subdivisions" under local codes, removing an administrative hurdle for developers. This change applies only to condominiums created or altered after its effective date (September 1, 2025), leaving existing condo regulations unchanged.
