Anne Arundel County - Development Impact Fees

SB 572 removes restrictions on Anne Arundel County's authority to grant exemptions or credits for development impact fees. It allows the County Council to establish rules for exemptions specifically for not-for-profit entities operating for at least three years. The bill amends existing law (Section 17-11-215) to let the Council set exemption amounts, eligibility conditions, and application procedures. This change directly affects qualifying nonprofits seeking relief from development fees.
