Under this bill, counties must accept and process a building permit application for a single-family home on a "qualifying parcel" — meaning a parcel that existed before the county adopted zoning rules for it, or one that is comparable to nearby lots already recognized for single-family residential use — as long as the proposed home meets setback requirements, utility providers sign off, and any applicable health department and street frontage requirements are satisfied. The bill also adds "protecting property rights" as an explicit purpose of county land use authority, and clarifies that accepting such an application does not obligate the county to maintain roads, extend utilities, or overlook illegal land divisions.
