Texas SB2639 regulates the designation of properties as historic landmarks in large municipalities.

Texas SB2639 amends the Local Government Code to establish procedures for designating properties as historic landmarks in municipalities with a population of 950,000 or more. The bill mandates that a municipality cannot designate a property as a local historic landmark or include it in a local historic district without the property owner's consent. If the owner does not consent, the municipality must make a bona fide offer to compensate the owner for damages. The offer must include an initial and a final compensation offer, with the final offer made at least 14 days before the hearing.
