Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill H 4672 allows homeowners who have owned a similar residential property in the same school district for the past fifteen years to be exempt from impact fees when purchasing a new home assessed at four percent. This means that if qualifying buyers have previously benefited from a special assessment for property taxes, they can receive a refund on impact fees, which are generally used to fund public facilities for K-12 education. This change is designed to encourage stability in home ownership within school districts by making it financially easier for long-term residents to move or purchase new homes.
