TO: Honorable Carol Alvarado, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE: HB3178 by Anchia (Relating to the use of a broker for the exchange of land by a political
subdivision.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize political subdivisions to contract
with a broker to lease or sell tract of real property that is owned by the political subdivision. It
authorizes for payment of a fee upon production of a ready, willing, and able buyer. It requires
notice to sell and exempts these sales from certain other statutory requirements. It removes two
existing authorizations to sell real property through brokers.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of each house. If the bill
does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, it would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Municipal League, no significant fiscal impact to municipalities is
anticipated.
