AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Impact fees are one-time charges local governments collect from homebuilders to help pay for roads, water systems, and other infrastructure needed to serve new development. This bill requires cities, counties, and other local entities to calculate impact fees for new single-family homes based on the number of plumbing fixtures — things like sinks, toilets, and showers — shown in the building plans, rather than using a flat rate or other method. Builders of smaller homes with fewer fixtures would pay lower fees than builders of larger homes with more fixtures. This means new homebuyers could see lower upfront costs when purchasing a smaller home, since impact fees are typically passed on in the home's price.
