Battling Back Impact Fees
Sweating it out uphill with impact fees? Let us show you some ways to even the playing field; battle them back and whittle them down. Learn comprehensive approaches to addressing your infrastructure constraints-from strategies to combat impact fees to alternative infrastructure solutions. We'll explore them with you through recent court cases.

Development Review Fees-the Latest Statutory Loophole?
HBAs across the country have begun to question a recent escalation in development review and inspection fees being charged by municipalities. Because these fees are not a tax, many states have little or no legislative language regulating how these fees can be levied or raised. Are governments using a statutory loophole to fatten their budgets at the expense of builders? This session will discuss the issue as well as model legislative language drafted by NAHB to help HBAs close this loophole nationwide. Learn whether your state has existing legislation that restricts this type of policy, and understand exactly what activities review fees can and can't be used for.
