Relating to information that a property owners' association must file with the Texas Real Estate Commission; authorizing an administrative penalty.
HB 4447 requires property owners' associations (POAs) in Texas to electronically submit their rules/regulations and enforcement policies to the Texas Real Estate Commission within seven days of filing management certificates with county clerks. POAs that fail to comply face daily fines starting at $1,000 for the first day, increasing to $500 per additional day. The Texas Real Estate Commission must create an online filing system by December 1, 2025, with existing POAs required to file by June 1, 2026. The bill aims to make this information publicly accessible online while prohibiting POAs from charging members for fines. Penalties collected become general state revenue.
