MIGHTY BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO TEXAS CITIES
Everything Changed for Texas Property Owners After Sept. 1st
Four new state laws just went into effect on Sept. 1st that will shake-up how housing gets built in Texas's biggest cities. Whether you own, rent, or are thinking about buying, these changes will hit home.
Picture this: You wake up tomorrow and that strip center right next to your neighborhood could legally become a 200-unit apartment complex.
All without a single public hearing, without notifying you and without your city council having any say in the matter.
That's not some far-off scenario. That's exactly what can happen in about 20 major Texas cities.
And most Texans still don't know what's headed their way. Please download our helpful checklist.
