relative to including municipal public works facilities as eligible capital facilities for the assessment of impact fees.
HB 168 expands the types of public infrastructure projects eligible for impact fee assessments. It allows cities and towns to include municipal public works facilities - such as water treatment plants, fire stations, or public transportation hubs - in the calculation of fees charged to new development projects. This change requires developers to pay impact fees for these specific municipal facilities, directly affecting local governments and new construction projects. The law takes effect on August 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
