Zoning - As introduced, requires, on and after July 1, 2025, a deed of conveyance of real property to include the zoning classification of the property at the time the deed is recorded; prescribes a process by which a local zoning authority may notify a state department, agency, or officer of a local zoning violation by a business resulting in the revocation or suspension of a license, permit, or certificate of a business in violation of a local zoning ordinance, resolution, or law; prescribes the process for reinstatement or appeal, including the assessment of a reinstatement fee. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8, Chapter 13; Title 13, Chapter 7; Title 62; Title 66 and Title 68.

HB 1018 requires property deeds recorded on or after July 1, 2025, to include the property's current zoning classification with a disclaimer. It also creates a process where local zoning authorities can notify state agencies if a business violates local zoning rules, allowing the state to suspend the business's license or permit if the notice is received within 30 days of issuance and includes proof of violation. Businesses can appeal suspensions or pay a reinstatement fee (up to the original license cost) to regain their license, and local authorities may be charged the fee if the business was already compliant when notified. This bill directly affects property buyers/sellers, local zoning authorities, state agencies, and businesses operating under local zoning regulations.
