Prince George's County - School Facilities and Public Safety and Behavioral Health Surcharges - Deferral of Payment PG 405-26
HB 379 allows Prince George's County to delay payment of school facilities and public safety/behavioral health surcharges on new residential construction until specific events occur. Sellers of new homes will no longer need to pay these fees upfront when applying for building permits. Instead, payment can be deferred until final inspection, occupancy permit issuance, or the first property sale after the building permit is issued. The bill modifies existing county laws to implement this deferral process without changing the surcharge amounts or requirements.
