Why Should ETJ Property Owners Care About SB 2038?
Clear Legal Pathway for ETJ Removal
SB 2038 provides a clear legal framework for property owners seeking to remove their properties from ETJ restrictions. This law specifies the documentation, and steps required to file a successful petition, reducing the uncertainty and complexity previously associated with the process.
Enhanced Property Rights
By removing your property from ETJ restrictions under SB 2038, you gain greater control over how you use and develop your property. This includes freedom from city zoning laws, building codes, and other regulatory constraints that can limit your property’s potential.
Financial Benefits
Properties within an ETJ are often subject to city-imposed fees and taxes, such as the Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT), which can be as high as 7% of overnight revenue. By leveraging SB 2038 to remove your property from the ETJ, you can avoid these financial burdens, increasing your property’s profitability.
Increased Property Value
ETJ restrictions can negatively impact your property’s marketability and value. Removing these restrictions makes your property more attractive to potential buyers and investors, potentially increasing its value.
