| homes. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 1201.008, Occupations Code, is amended | ||
| by adding Subsections (g), (h), (i), (j), and (k) to read as | ||
| follows: | ||
| (g) Notwithstanding any other law, other than Subsections | ||
| (h), (i), and (k), a municipality shall allow the placement of a new | ||
| HUD-code manufactured home as a permitted use in all zoning | ||
| classifications that allow detached residential single-family or | ||
| duplex dwellings, if the owner of the HUD-code manufactured home | ||
| elects to treat the manufactured home as real property under | ||
| Section 1201.2055. | ||
| (h) A municipality may adopt an ordinance, regulation, or | ||
| other measure that requires a new HUD-code manufactured home | ||
| elected to be treated as real property and used as a single-family | ||
| or duplex dwelling to: | ||
| (1) have a value equal to or greater than the median | ||
| taxable value of each single-family dwelling located within 500 | ||
| feet of the lot on which the new HUD-code manufactured home is | ||
| proposed to be placed, as determined by the most recent certified | ||
| tax appraisal roll for the properties; | ||
| (2) have exterior siding, roofing, foundation fascia, | ||
| and fenestration compatible with each single-family dwelling | ||
| located within 500 feet of the lot on which the new HUD-code | ||
| manufactured home is proposed to be placed; | ||
| (3) comply with the municipality's aesthetic, building | ||
| setback, side and rear yard offset, subdivision control, | ||
| architectural landscaping, square footage, and other site | ||
| requirements that would apply to a single-family dwelling | ||
| constructed on the site; or | ||
| (4) be securely placed on a permanent foundation | ||
| system. | ||
| (i) For purposes of Subsection (h), the value of a HUD-code | ||
| manufactured home is the taxable or initial sales value of the | ||
| HUD-code manufactured home and the value of the lot after the | ||
| placement of the HUD-code manufactured home on the lot. | ||
| (j) A municipality may not adopt or enforce an ordinance, | ||
| regulation, or other measure that imposes a requirement on a new | ||
| HUD-code manufactured home elected to be treated as real property | ||
| under Section 1201.2055 that is more stringent than the regulations | ||
| that would apply to a new single-family or duplex dwelling | ||
| constructed on the site. | ||
| (k) This section does not: | ||
| (1) limit the authority of a municipality to adopt an | ||
| ordinance, regulation, or other measure to protect historic | ||
| properties or historic districts; or | ||
| (2) affect deed restrictions. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. | ||
