Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 71 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to development impact fees, so as to authorize local governments to waive development impact fees for certain projects related to the development of affordable or workforce housing without increasing other impact fees to offset such lost funds; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill allows local governments in Georgia to waive development impact fees, which are charges imposed on new developments to help fund public infrastructure like roads and schools, for projects that create affordable or workforce housing, meaning housing that is accessible to people earning a moderate income. Previously, any exemption required that the cost of the waived fees be covered by other revenue sources, but this bill specifically states that if a project qualifies for a waiver due to creating workforce housing, local governments cannot raise impact fees on other projects to make up for the lost revenue.
