Commissioners courts may adopt zoning regulations regarding building size, lot occupancy, dwelling density, setbacks, and infrastructure. The bill establishes a process for public hearings and protests regarding zoning changes. Violations are classified as misdemeanors, punishable by fines ranging from $500 to $1,000 per day.
