Pima County hiking new-home fees

new home feesBy Joe Ferguson | Arizona Daily Star

Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry plans to increase roadway development impact fees by $279 for typical single-family homes starting next week.

The Southern Arizona Home Builders Association objects, disputing Huckelberry’s assertions the economy has recovered enough to support such an increase.

Huckelberry said the county cannot afford to postpone scheduled increases in the fee. SAHBA contends the local economy is far too fragile to absorb the hike.

“We are disappointed the county is choosing to adopt this rate at this time,” said Shawn Cote, government affairs associate for the homebuilders association.

He disagreed with Huckelberry’s assessment the local construction market is recovering, saying the housing market remains sensitive to price increases.

Huckelberry defended his decision, reminding the Pima County Board of Supervisors the housing industry benefited from a number of fee increases being postponed over the last few years.
