Bill > SB2703

This bill modifies the Texas Property Code to clarify and expand municipal and county regulations regarding condominiums. Specifically, the bill maintains existing protections that prevent local governments from prohibiting the condominium form of ownership or imposing unique requirements on condominiums that would not apply to similar developments under different ownership structures. The bill introduces new provisions stating 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 changes 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 and modifying condominiums by reducing potential bureaucratic barriers related to local zoning and subdivision regulations.
