Bill Summary

Relating to third-party review of plats and property development plans, permits, and similar documents, and the inspection of an improvement related to such a document.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Local Government Code to add Chapter 247, which requires third-party review of development documents (such as plats, plans, and permits) and inspections of land improvements if the regulatory authority does not take action within 15 days as prescribed by law. The third-party reviewers and inspectors must be either employed by the regulatory authority, another political subdivision, or be licensed engineers. The regulatory authority cannot impose additional fees for these third-party reviews or inspections, and applicants cannot be required to waive the deadlines or procedures under this new chapter. The bill also establishes an appeals process for decisions made by the regulatory authority or third-party reviewers/inspectors.
