Æðµã´«Ã½ and its local and state affiliates have been active in combating impact fees, which affect housing affordability and target specific groups — namely home builders and residents of new developments — for services that are used by the general public as a whole.
The following court decisions highlight some of Æðµã´«Ã½’s recent efforts:
- Sheetz vs. El Dorado County
Æðµã´«Ã½ and the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) submitted two amicus briefs in the case supporting the home owner.
- Southern Arizona HBA vs. Town of Marana
The Southern Arizona Home Builders Association, on behalf of its members, filed a lawsuit claiming the town’s impact fees were illegal since they only applied to future home owners and not current residents.
The following are additional examples of how Æðµã´«Ã½ and other organizations have worked to combat impact fees.
