HB 2946: municipalities; counties; development fees

HB 2946 regulates how Arizona cities and towns can charge development fees for new construction projects. It requires fees to be calculated based on infrastructure plans, limited to actual costs of new public services (like roads or utilities), and prohibits using fees for general operations, maintenance, or upgrades to existing infrastructure. Fees must be placed in a separate fund and used only for the specific infrastructure they cover in the same service area. Developers can choose to pay fees at construction permit issuance or within 15 days of occupancy, with security required for deferred payments.
