Texas SB15 sets size and density limits for residential lots in certain municipalities and allows for a fee.

Texas SB15 amends Chapter 211 of the Local Government Code by adding Subchapter D, which restricts size and density requirements for residential lots in municipalities with populations over 90,000 located in counties with populations over 300,000. The bill prohibits municipalities from requiring lots to be larger than 1,400 square feet, wider than 20 feet, or deeper than 60 feet, and from enforcing a density ratio of fewer than 31.1 units per acre.
