Provided by Furman
Summary
- Clarifies the timing of the collection of system development fees, fees upon new development that increases the capacity needed to provide water or sewer service. For new development involving the subdivision of land, the fee would be collected at the later of the time of application for a building permit or when water or sewer service is committed by the local governmental unit. Also clarifies conditions under which a system development fee could not be charged on new development and authorizes the use of collected system development fees for previously completed capital projects for which capacity still exists and capital rehabilitation projects.
- Requires the Department of Environmental Quality to amend a rule so that sewers shared by a main building and an accessory building on the same lot shall also be deemed permitted, subject to compliance with the same building code criteria. The “accessory building” could include dwelling units.
