SB 583 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to lists of public real property suitable for use or to be developed for use as affordable housing by certain municipalities and counties.

SB 583 requires cities with over 25,000 residents and counties with over 50,000 residents to create an annual list of publicly-owned properties suitable for affordable housing. The bill defines "affordable housing" as housing costing no more than 30% of a household's median income in their area. Each municipality or county must list property addresses, legal descriptions, and whether properties are vacant or improved, then publish the list online or at public notice locations. This procedural bill creates a transparent process for identifying potential housing sites but does not directly fund or build housing.
