H.B. No. 328 proposes amendments to the Local Government Code regarding the regulation of manufactured home rental communities in specific counties. The bill introduces a new subsection (c-1) that applies exclusively to counties with populations exceeding 370,000, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, and adjacent to counties with populations over 3.3 million. This subsection allows the commissioners court of such counties to establish additional minimum infrastructure standards for manufactured home rental communities in unincorporated areas. The standards may include reasonable requirements for lot size, road width based on community density, and ingress and egress access.
Additionally, the bill amends subsection (e) to require that if the commissioners court adopts these minimum infrastructure standards, landowners intending to develop manufactured home rental communities must prepare an infrastructure development plan that complies with the newly established standards. The changes will only apply to communities where construction begins after the effective date of the new standards, which is set for September 1, 2025.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Local Government Code 232.007 (Local Government Code 232)
