County Government - As introduced, authorizes certain counties to, by the adoption of a resolution by a two-thirds vote of the county legislative body, impose a moratorium on the development of property, including property within the boundaries of a municipality, for apartment complexes. - Amends TCA Title 5.

SB 1098 allows counties in Tennessee with populations over 325,000 (per 2020 census) to temporarily pause new apartment complex development (25+ units) through a two-thirds vote by their county legislature. The moratorium lasts one year but can be extended annually with another two-thirds vote, applying to all property including within municipal boundaries. It excludes existing approved projects (vested rights) and does not apply to counties with metropolitan government. This bill directly affects large-county governments, developers seeking to build multi-family housing, and residents in those areas.
