2(2) (intro.); and to create 16.3025, 66.10013 (4), 66.10013 (5), 66.10014 (5) and
366.10014 (6) of the statutes; relating to: creating statewide website for
4municipality housing reports, modifying housing reporting requirements, and
5requiring annual update of housing fee report.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Administration to post housing reports
issued by municipalities on its website and requires municipalities to annually
update a report on residential development fees.
Current law requires municipalities with populations of at least 10,000 to
prepare two housing reports no later than January 1, 2020, and to post the reports
on the Internet. One report is on the municipality's implementation of the housing
element of the municipality's comprehensive plan, and the other report is on
residential development fees charged by the municipality. The housing element
report must be updated annually by January 31.
The bill requires municipalities to annually update the report on residential
development fees by January 31. Under the bill, municipalities must annually
provide a copy of the two reports to DOA no later than January 31, and DOA must
develop a web page on its website to post the reports in a searchable format. The bill
also requires DOA to annually submit a report to the appropriate standing
committees of the legislature that summaries the information contained in the
municipalities' reports.

Also under this bill, the housing reports must be prepared and posted by a
municipality with a population of 5,000. The first of the reports must be prepared
and posted not later than January 1, 2022, with regard to a municipality with a
population of at least 5,000, but fewer than 10,000. The current law January 1, 2020,
date, and the required 2021 update, remain for municipalities with a population of
at least 10,000. If a municipality fails to meet the posting requirements for either
of the housing reports, the bill prohibits the municipality from imposing impact fees
or land dedication requirements until the report is posted.
Because this bill may increase or decrease, directly or indirectly, the cost of the
development, construction, financing, purchasing, sale, ownership, or availability of
housing in this state, the Department of Administration, as required by law, will
prepare a report to be printed as an appendix to this bill.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
