Bill > HB4812

This bill modifies Texas law regarding municipal and county regulation of condominiums by clarifying that local governments cannot prohibit the condominium form of ownership or impose requirements on condominiums that would not be applied to similar developments under different ownership structures. Specifically, the bill stipulates that a condominium declaration is not considered a land subdivision for the purposes of certain local government codes, and municipalities or counties cannot require subdivision plat preparation or approval when creating or altering a condominium. The new provisions will only apply to condominium declarations filed for recording on or after September 1, 2025, meaning existing condominium declarations will continue to be governed by the previous legal framework. This legislation aims to streamline the process of establishing condominiums by reducing potential administrative barriers imposed by local governments and ensuring consistent treatment of different property ownership models.
