Task Force on Housing Taxes and Fees established, and report required.

This bill establishes a new Task Force on Housing Taxes and Fees to examine how state, county, and local taxes and fees affect the cost of building and preserving housing in Minnesota. The 15-member task force includes legislators, state agency representatives, industry stakeholders, and public members, with appointments due by July 1, 2026. The group will inventory existing housing-related charges, analyze their impact on market prices, evaluate how funds are distributed among government levels, and provide recommendations for reducing costs while maintaining essential services. The task force must submit its findings and recommendations by February 15, 2027, after which it will dissolve.
