Bill > HB3757

This bill allows rural landowners with properties larger than three acres and containing a lawful dwelling to divide their land into two to five lots, each with its own dwelling, without being constrained by existing minimum lot size requirements. The division is only permitted for lands outside urban growth boundaries and urban or rural reserves, and can include manufactured dwellings or small homes. To qualify, landowners must substantially complete development of all dwelling units by December 31, 2028. If development is not substantially completed by this deadline, the land division becomes void, and any newly created lots or partially constructed dwellings will be considered unlawful. The provision is temporary, with the law set to be automatically repealed on January 2, 2029, effectively creating a short-term opportunity for rural landowners to expand housing options on their property. Any recorded documents related to these land divisions must include a notice warning about the potential for the division to be voided if development is not completed by the specified date.
