Under Local Government Code Chapter 214, actions by a home-rule municipality against owners not in substantial compliance concern what type of property?

• A. Residential Property
• B. Commercial Property
• C. Industrial Property
• D. Agricultural Property

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that this part of the Local Government Code authorizes home-rule municipalities to take enforcement actions when owners are not in substantial compliance specifically for places where people live. The authority described under Chapter 214 is aimed at dealing with nuisances and maintenance issues in residential properties to protect occupants and neighborhoods. While other types of property—commercial, industrial, or agricultural—must comply with codes too, the enforcement provisions in this chapter are focused on residential housing. So the best answer is residential property.
