Bill > SB817

This bill increases the filing fees for the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), specifically raising the intervention fee from $100 to $200 and the notice of intent to appeal filing fee from $300 to $350. The bill maintains the existing process for filing land use decision appeals, which includes requirements such as filing a notice of intent to appeal within 21 days of a decision, providing opportunities for intervention by applicants or parties who appeared in the original proceeding, and establishing timelines for record transmission and review. The legislation also requires LUBA to track and report statistical information about its reviews, including the rates at which land use decisions are upheld, reversed, or remanded, as well as tracking information about petitioners, respondents, and attorney fee awards. These changes aim to adjust the financial aspects of the land use appeals process while maintaining the existing procedural framework for reviewing local government land use decisions.
