Relating to municipal permitting requirements for certain development projects supported with low income housing tax credit allocations.
SB 210 requires municipalities with over 100,000 residents to process building permits for affordable housing projects - defined as developments using low-income housing tax credits - within half the standard review time. This applies only to projects receiving tax credit allocations under Texas Government Code Chapter 2306. The bill mandates that permit decisions must be made in 50% of the usual timeframe, without changing existing approval standards. It directly affects large city governments and developers seeking tax-credit housing permits, aiming to accelerate housing development.
