Relating to electronic delivery of notice for certain municipal zoning changes.
HB 4506 allows Texas municipalities to deliver zoning change notices electronically to property owners, but only if recipients opt-in to receive them this way. The bill requires municipalities to send written notice (via mail or electronic delivery) at least 10 days before public hearings on zoning changes that could make current property uses nonconforming. Notices must include a bold warning that the hearing may affect the right to continue using property as it currently is. This applies to owners of properties where proposed changes affect existing uses, and to school districts for residential zoning changes, while maintaining the existing 200-foot notice zone for adjacent properties.

MINOR
This bill was formatted and finalized for passage from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' status. The substantive policy content regarding electronic notice delivery for zoning changes remains unchanged, with only formatting corrections, spacing adjustments, and the addition of final certification signatures from legislative officers.
TECHNICAL
Formatting and layout were corrected throughout the document, including removing placeholder text like 'AABonnen' and 'A No. A4506', and aligning section headers properly.
Final certification signatures and dates were added at the end, certifying passage by the House on May 12, 2025, and the Senate on May 20, 2025, with Governor approval.
Drafting artifacts and internal markup (such as line numbers and version identifiers) were removed to produce the clean final text.
