TX HB3792

Requires the General Land Office to establish a digitized inventory of surplus state property (unused or underused land and buildings) in municipalities with 25,000+ population or counties with 50,000+ population for potential affordable housing development

Mandates the General Land Office and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to jointly identify and rank suitable properties based on economic feasibility, proximity to jobs and transit, housing demand gaps, and rent increase rates, then create a color-coded map showing development potential

Authorizes the General Land Office to issue requests for proposals from developers for long-term ground leases on identified properties, with requirements for affordability levels, construction timelines (groundbreaking within 2 years, completion within 3 years), and demonstrated developer capacity

Provides property tax exemptions for leasehold interests on these surplus properties when developers commit to renting at least 30% of units to low or moderate-income families (12-year exemption) or 40% of units (20-year exemption)

Sets implementation deadlines: property evaluation process established by November 30, 2025; digitized inventory by December 31, 2025; and status report by April 30, 2026
