HB 1322 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to municipal approval of subdivision plans or plats in certain municipalities.

HB 1322 sets specific timeframes for municipalities to approve or disapprove subdivision plats. It requires smaller municipalities (under 10,000 population) to make decisions within 90 days instead of 30 days, and specifies that plats are approved by default if not acted upon within these periods. The bill also allows for one 30-day extension if requested in writing by the applicant and approved by the municipality, or if a takings impact assessment is required. This directly affects developers seeking to build residential subdivisions and smaller local governments managing land-use approvals. The changes apply only to applications submitted on or after the bill's effective date.
