Died in Judiciary, companion bill(s) passed, see CS/CS/CS/HB 399 (Ch. 2026-7), CS/CS/HB 803 (Ch. 2026-63)
Summary
The bill creates a new "Florida Starter Homes Act" and adds rules that stop counties and cities from adding certain lot‑size, parking, historic‑property and other requirements unless they meet strict criteria. It also sets a streamlined, right‑of‑approval process for residential‑lot permits and gives homeowners a cause of action if a local rule is deemed invalid. The measure aims to increase the supply of low‑cost housing, but it never passed.
