Housing - As enacted, authorizes the chief legislative body of a municipality to create a voluntary attainable housing incentive program by ordinance for the purpose of authorizing certain incentives to be provided to property owners who seek to build attainable housing. - Amends TCA Title 13 and Title 66.
This bill authorizes local city and county governments in Tennessee to create voluntary programs that offer incentives to property owners who build affordable housing. Under the new rules, municipalities must define what qualifies as attainable housing and outline specific benefits, such as zoning exceptions or financial aid, available to participating developers. The process requires property owners to request a pre-application meeting with regional planning staff before submitting a formal request, ensuring projects meet local requirements before approval. Once approved, any affordable housing created through these incentives must be permanently restricted to remain affordable for future buyers or renters.
