Texas HB4753 regulates municipal issuance of documents verifying certificate of occupancy for buildings.

Texas HB4753 amends the Local Government Code to mandate that municipalities provide a document acknowledging the issuance of a certificate of occupancy upon request from a building owner. The bill prohibits municipalities from requiring individuals who receive such documents to obtain or display the original certificate of occupancy. Instead, the document provided by the municipality is considered sufficient for display purposes. The act takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it becomes effective on September 1, 2025.
