42-2021 — Plat / Replat in Caldwell County, TX
This case involves a request for subdivision platting exemption for approximately 80 acres at 9054 FM 713, which the petitioner claims qualifies for exemption under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 232.0015 because all lots exceed 10 acres and no public dedication is proposed. The county's Planning & Zoning department denied the exemption request, and the petitioner has appealed, arguing the county lacked authority to impose additional requirements beyond state law and failed to act within the required 30-day timeframe. Developers should monitor this case as it may set precedent regarding platting exemptions and the scope of local versus state regulatory authority in Caldwell County.
