Anne Arundel County - Development Impact Fees

HB 453 repeals restrictions on Anne Arundel County's authority to grant exemptions or credits for development impact fees, specifically allowing the County Council to provide these for qualifying not-for-profit organizations. The bill amends County law to permit exemptions/credits for not-for-profits operating for at least three years, requiring the Council to set specific eligibility rules, credit amounts, and application procedures through ordinance. This directly affects developers of not-for-profit projects (like community centers or affordable housing) seeking relief from fees used to fund public infrastructure. The change takes effect October 1, 2025, streamlining the County's process for offering such fee relief without altering the core fee structure.
