MINOR

The bill was amended to add a new definition clarifying which properties are subject to the vacant home fee, specifically excluding newly constructed homes and larger multi-unit buildings. This change narrows the scope of properties eligible for the fee to focus on smaller residential properties that have been vacant for over 180 days.

Scope change

The bill now explicitly excludes newly constructed, converted, or rehabilitated residences that are unoccupied, as well as residences with more than four dwelling units (excluding condominiums), from being subject to the vacant home fee.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'subject noncommercial residence' that excludes newly built or recently renovated homes and buildings with more than four units, clarifying which properties the fee applies to.
