2025 STATE LEGISLATIVE ALERT

Sign the TNC petition opposing any bill that ends single-family zoning in residential neighborhoods

Sign the petition

TNC Plano is back in action. The 2025 Texas state legislature is now in session and our Plano neighborhoods are once again under attack.

The Mini-lot Bill: HB 878 would force high-density housing onto existing single-family neighborhoods by allowing dwellings to be built on a minimum lot size of 2,500 sqft. Three houses could be built on a typically sized Plano lot where one house exists today.

The ADU Anywhere Bill: SB 673 would allow an ADU (granny flat) to be built on every lot in every single-family neighborhood with nearly no restrictions except for size. An ADU could be anywhere on a lot including the front yard.

Either bill would destroy your existing residential neighborhood. We need your help to stop these bills now.

Sign the petition

The leadership of TNC has created a statewide petition to be submitted to all Texas legislators urging them to REJECT any "preemption" bill that will negatively impact residential neighborhoods, including any bill forcing neighborhoods to accept short-term rentals, ADUs or mini-lots.

What you need to do:

1) Sign the petition now and get others in your family and neighborhood to sign too. Go here to sign the petition.

2) Forward this email to anyone you know in Texas who wants to maintain existing single-family neighborhoods. These bills affect all residential neighborhoods in Texas by pre-empting or overriding local ordinances.

Thank you for your help to save our residential neighborhoods!
