Relating to county regulation of subdivisions and approval of subdivision plans or plats.
SB 325 modifies Texas county regulations for land subdivisions by exempting certain landowners from requiring county-approved subdivision plats. It prohibits counties from demanding plats for: (1) agricultural land as defined in the Texas Constitution, or (2) subdivisions where all lots exceed 10 acres without planned streets, parks, or public rights-of-way. This primarily affects rural property owners and county land development offices handling land divisions. The bill also permits counties in groundwater management areas to establish water use requirements when platting is otherwise required, though this provision is secondary to the main exemptions. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
