Real Property - As introduced, prohibits the state or a local or municipal government from requiring a builder or developer of real property to pay for the building or development of infrastructure that is nonessential to the development, maintenance, or growth of the builder's development property. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 54 and Title 66.

SB 1045 prohibits state and local governments from requiring developers to pay for infrastructure that isn't essential to their project, such as roads or utilities not directly connected to the development. It specifically applies to residential projects with fewer than 300 single-family homes or 500 multi-family units, defining "nonessential infrastructure" as anything not contiguous to the property or exceeding initial planning estimates. The bill does not change existing tax, zoning, or permitting rules but takes effect July 1, 2025, for new contracts. This directly affects builders and developers by limiting government demands for off-site infrastructure costs.
