impact tax, Gazette ( Frederick)
Larry
Snody, vice president with Frederick County Habitat for Humanity,
is putting his support behind Frederick County Commissioner
Jan H. Gardner's legislative proposal to convert the current
impact fee collected on new housing for schools and libraries
into an "impact tax."
In
a letter this week to Gardner (D), Snody wrote that an impact
tax with a proposed sliding scale based on a home's square footage
will "definitely contribute to keeping costs for affordable
housing under control." (More . . . http://www.gazette.net/stories/102805/fredcou143936_3190a.shtml)

fee increases housing costs - Cost to build new home in Frederick
may jump by $10,000, Gazette ( Frederick)
Building
a new home in the City of Frederick costs nearly $10,000 more
than it did in 2002, due to city and county fees. If the
city adopts a proposed transportation impact fee, the price would
jump another $10,000, making some wonder if affordable housing
in Frederick is just a pipe dream. …Real estate agent
Shreve, also the former president of Habitat for Humanity, is
more concerned that another fee will make Frederick the home
of the elite. Instead, he would like to see fees added to homes
that are larger and more expensive. ‘‘That much in
fees for a $500,000 home is not a big deal. But it is a big deal
for a $200,000 home,”he said. (More . . . http://www.gazette.net/stories/102705/frednew175533_31891.shtml)

its 1993 start in Frederick through Church Women United, Habitat
has enjoyed incredible church support. Churches contributed money,

a project-by-project basis. Many recruit individual volunteers
as others organize work teams. Some take on whole projects. (More
