HB 5199 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the authority of a municipality or county to enact and impose an impact fee for a roadway facility or a safety improvement to a roadway facility.

HB 5199 clarifies that Texas municipalities and counties may require a traffic analysis as part of land development applications specifically to impose impact fees for roadway facilities or safety improvements. The bill amends Local Government Code sections to allow such analyses only when the purpose is to collect fees under Chapter 395, which governs impact fees for infrastructure. It explicitly permits municipalities to levy these fees for new developments or municipal utility districts in their extraterritorial jurisdiction, while clarifying counties may only use such fees for purposes authorized by Chapter 395. The changes aim to streamline the process for local governments to fund road-related infrastructure through targeted development fees.
