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.
SB 847 requires property deeds recorded after July 1, 2025, to include the current zoning classification with a disclaimer noting it may change. It also establishes a process where local zoning authorities can notify state agencies if a business violates zoning laws, allowing the state to revoke or suspend the business's license or permit if the violation is proven. Businesses can appeal such actions or request reinstatement once compliant, with potential reinstatement fees up to the original license cost. The bill directly affects property owners, businesses operating under zoning regulations, and state agencies managing licenses.
