HB 1510 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO REPEAL THE AUTHORITY FOR A MUNICIPALITY TO EXERCISE TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OVER AN UNINCORPORATED AREA OF A COUNTY.

HB 1510 repeals Arkansas laws that allowed cities to control land development and zoning in unincorporated areas adjacent to their corporate boundaries. It eliminates provisions enabling municipalities to enforce planning, subdivision, and entry regulations beyond their city limits, including population-based jurisdictional zones. This directly affects cities that previously extended planning authority into county lands and the unincorporated areas subject to those regulations. After enactment, cities will no longer have legal authority to regulate land use in unincorporated county areas outside their corporate boundaries.
