Bill Summary

Impact fees; residential development. Authorizes any locality to impose impact fees on certain residential developments in order to defray the costs of constructing public facilities necessitated by those developments. Under current law, such impact fees have limited applicability and may be imposed only by those counties that have established urban transportation service districts.

AI Summary

This bill expands the ability of local governments in Virginia to charge impact fees, which are fees imposed on new residential developments to help pay for public facilities like roads, schools, and utilities that are needed because of that development. Previously, only certain counties with established urban transportation service districts could impose these fees, and only in specific circumstances. This bill removes those limitations, allowing any locality to impose impact fees on certain residential developments to cover the costs of public facilities necessitated by that growth, making it easier for communities to fund necessary infrastructure as they expand.
