St. Mary’s County Excise Tax
St. Mary’s County Commissioners have been planning to move from an impact fee structure to an excise tax on new developments, which will increase revenue by over 350% – a big departure from what officials were referring to as “revenue neutral” when the excise tax switch was proposed. And at the same time, they want to raise property taxes by over 3.5%.

But this ordinance is already chilling interest in investing in Eugene, and will further reduce the housing options available for those least able to afford it. It’s tough to be a tenant in this housing market with vacancy at less than 2%.

Impact Fees
SB820/HB1206 makes housing more costly and that much more difficult. Amending the County Powers Relief Act, as the bill suggests, will allow a development fee to be placed on future home owners across the state, pricing many Tennesseans out of the marketplace.
