Summary
Tax-credit housing sites skip Subsection (d). Nearby owners lose that rule for these properties.
This bill switches off one zoning rule, Subsection (d) of Section 211.006 of the Local Government Code, for certain properties. It covers any property holding a housing development that has applied for or received state-administered housing tax credits under Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD, Government Code. Cities and the nearby owners who would otherwise rely on Subsection (d) lose that rule for these tax-credit sites once the bill takes effect, either immediately on a two-thirds vote or on September 1, 2027.
