HB 5380 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to park land dedication requirements for subdivisions by counties; authorizing a fee.

HB 5380 would require counties to establish park land dedication standards for new residential subdivisions and authorize counties to collect a fee to fund park development. This bill directly affects counties (as local governments setting requirements) and subdivision developers (who would need to comply with park land provisions). The key mechanisms include mandating counties to define specific park land requirements for new housing projects and allowing them to impose a dedicated fee to cover park-related costs. The bill is currently pending in the Land & Resource Management committee after committee hearings in May 2025. (Note: Specific fee amounts or park size requirements are not detailed in the provided context.)
