问题- - - - - - 基础设施, 经济发展和住房负担能力

People 保持 moving to Texas … about 1,000 per day … and we want to 保持 that going.

这就是为什么我们很高兴看到立法机构关注重要的 关键基础设施 的问题,例如 宽频接驳及 水.

REALTORS® have been advocating for dependable and affordable internet access at the state and federal level for years and we appreciate the work that the Legislature is doing.

我们很自豪地支持 众议院第9号法案，众议院第2662号法案，以及特伦特·阿什比主席的HJR 125号法案.

这是一个 这对我们地区来说是个大问题, 所以, 我们 glad the Legislature is continuing to take action after last session’s big broadband bill.

Perhaps the most critical part of our infrastructure is our 水 supply … so obviously, 我们 支持确保我们有水的努力 为了我们不断增长的人口. 我们很乐意 支持HB 10 by 特雷西·金主席.

我们也希望立法机关通过一些措施 激励经济发展 -和 托德·亨特主席支持众议院第5号法案， 这是一个 经济发展协议的新方法.

我们 also coming off a historic time in Texas real estate … and even though the market has normalized a little, 德克萨斯州对2021十大正规彩票app的需求仍然很高!

  • 临床上注意: Talk briefly about your local market or highlight some local statistics (Inventory challenges, 上市天数, 缺乏“中等”住房, 等.)
  • 临床上注意: Offer to send the one-page Housing 代表ort for the representative’s district (in the portal under “2022 Housing 代表ort”.)

尽管如此，我们还是很 关注房屋负担能力 正如我们继续看到的 库存短缺，尤其是在价格较低的时候.

这有很多不同的原因 没有什么灵丹妙药 去修复它，但是 有几个账单可以被削掉吗 问题所在.

我们认为 消除监管障碍 对住房开发有帮助，比如 hb14由Cody Harris主席提出. 其他法案也可以 provide additional housing options, like HB 2789 by 代表resentative Justin Holland.

我们的小册子强调了其中的一些法案，它们都有 目标 of 增加住房存量，提高住房可负担性.

问题- - - - - - 房产税

We can’t talk about housing affordability without mentioning everyone’s favorite subject – 房产税.

We remain committed to identifying different ways to lower property taxes – including 扩大对业主和企业的豁免, 以及继续 买下来 (压缩) 学校税率.

  • 临床上注意: 除非他们知道，否则不要提这件事 – House members (particularly 代表ublicans) may ask you why the REALTORS® do not support the House’s property tax relief plan, HB 2/HJR 1由主席Morgan Meyer.

    法案中有一些内容我们 do 支持,我.e., 费率压缩和托管选项为所有业主. Our opposition is based on the 5% appraisal caps – a position TR has held for years. 评估上限听起来是个好主意，但它们:

    • Will not reduce local government spending (and therefore merely shift the tax burden around, 而不是降低它)
    • Create long-term distortions in the market and discourage people from selling or moving
    • Can exacerbate housing affordability issues by decreasing the number of homes on the market
    • 根据业主拥有房产的时间长短，对他们区别对待
    • 在商业租赁市场注入不公平竞争

我们也很高兴 支持众议员HB 1027等法案. 谢尔比Slawson that eliminates change-of-use taxes – which you might hear called “lookback taxes.” 这些是额外的, retroactive taxes that are charged when a property changes from agricultural use to residential or commercial.

问题- - - - - - 产权

Property rights are the foundation upon which all our association advocacy efforts are built, and we always track any legislation that adds to or takes away private property rights…

作为一个 工商委员会委员; 你会看到我们优先清单上的很多账单……

  • 临床上注意: Neave Criado is a member of the Business and 行业 Committee … often referred to as “B&I”

首先，我们再次关注 HOA改革，这是共和党的. 克里斯·特纳的HB 3503 一项法案建立在立法机构在2021年所做的伟大工作的基础上 将有利于房主的改革扩大到共管公寓.

作为2021十大正规彩票app专业人士，我们当然 看到业主协会的价值 但有些社区长期不受控制 已经开始侵犯核心私有产权 收费过高，缺乏透明度

  • 临床上注意:如果代表询问HOA法案的细节, please inform Texas REALTORS®️ staff ASAP – our lobby team will want to visit the office.

我们也支持 代表. 谢尔比·斯劳森的HB 2035,这 提供了一点 可预测性 在租赁市场和帮助夫妻房供应商 保持 出租房源齐全，租金更实惠. 

最后……. 德鲁·达比有HB 2447,这 protects homeowners by ensuring predatory entities can’t strip away homeowners’ equity 收取虚假费用. 

这三个都被称为B&I 我们会喜欢你的 有利的 考虑 … so if you need more information, please contact Tray, Julia, or 赛斯 on our staff.

离开你的委员会…我们 DeWayne Burns主席支持HB 1750. 这项上周被农业和畜牧业部否决的法案， 保护德州人的农场权 通过限制城市限制个人农业经营的能力.

问题- - - - - - 交易

最后, there are a few bills 我们 focusing on that deal directly with the business of real estate transactions. 具体地说, 公共改善区, 或pid, 是近年来的热门话题吗.

  • 临床上注意:代表或工作人员可能不熟悉pid. These districts are created by cities or counties and cover a particular neighborhood or region – the district is established to provide specific types of improvements or maintenance and is financed by assessment against the property owners within the area.

In 2021, then-代表resentative Tan Parker carried legislation to require that sellers provide buyers with a notice if their property is in a PID. 在过去的两年里，我们看到了这项法律的作用 确定了几个可以改进的地方.

我们 奥斯卡·朗格利亚主席支持HB 4277, and Senator Tan Parker has the companion bill – this minor change just makes sure a 卖方受保护 如果属性在PID中, but the city or county hasn’t recorded the PID information with the county clerk like they’re supposed to. 我们期待着你们在这项法案提交商业审议时给予支持 & 行业.

  • 临床上注意这项立法有点技术性, but the bottom line is to make sure that sellers can’t be penalized for not disclosing something they weren’t aware of.

That notice requirement also made us think further about how PID information could be easier to find. 这就是为什么我们强烈支持众议员提出的HB 4232法案. 休, which would ensure that property owners can easily find PID information when they look up their property on the central appraisal district’s website.
