HB 993 modifies the Texas Local Government Code to set clear deadlines for municipalities to process building permit applications, mandating action within 45 days. It also outlines consequences for municipal non-compliance, such as prohibiting fee collection or requiring refunds of collected fees. Additionally, it prevents denial of permits due to non-compliance with the timing requirements and forbids waiver requests from applicants. These provisions take effect on September 1, 2025.
