HB 499 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Create grants for housing near megaprojects; revise property law

This bill creates a new grant program to support housing developments near major state projects and provides funding to townships and municipalities that adopt specific pro-housing policies. The legislation establishes a new fund called the "expanded sales tax holiday fund" by transferring surplus state revenue, which is then used to finance these housing grants and to offset revenue losses from future sales tax holidays. Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws regarding community reinvestment areas to adjust how residential property is treated under those regulations. Local governments seeking these grants must demonstrate that they have implemented at least three pro-housing measures and describe how they plan to use the awarded funds.
