Bill Summary
Relating to regulation of accessory dwelling units by political subdivisions.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the treatment of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) by political subdivisions in Texas. It defines an ADU as a residential housing unit that is independent of the primary dwelling unit on a lot. The bill prohibits political subdivisions from enacting certain regulations that would restrict the construction, leasing, or occupancy of ADUs. However, it allows political subdivisions to apply their general zoning requirements, publish ADU-specific plans and standards, and regulate short-term rentals and the separate sale of ADUs. The bill also requires political subdivisions to approve or deny ADU permit applications within 60 days, and it allows property owners to bring legal action against political subdivisions that violate the provisions of the bill.
