Relating to local government regulation.
SB 3015 (Texas HOME Act) limits local government regulation of housing development to address affordability. It directly affects counties and municipalities by restricting their authority to set lot sizes, dimensions, or road construction standards. Key provisions include banning "full purpose annexation" without proper process, prohibiting commissioners courts from regulating lot density, and preventing counties from requiring third parties to maintain public roads as a condition of development approval. The bill aims to reduce regulatory barriers that contribute to housing shortages and higher costs.
