NAHB Opposes Senate Energy Bill
A new report from NAHB, “Diversifying Housing Options with Smaller Lots and Smaller Homes,” explores less traditional housing types that could help meet the housing needs of low- and moderate-income households. The report looks at smaller homes, duplexes, townhouses, small-scale multifamily and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and offers best practices on regulatory policies and design options. President Trump has signed a veterans health bill into law that also abolishes the conforming loan limits on VA loans beginning Jan. 1, 2020 for veterans who do not have an outstanding loan guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The primary focus of the legislation extends disability compensation to Vietnam War-era veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange.
NAHB opposes an energy bill introduced by Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) because it would mandate excessive energy efficiency requirements in model building energy codes, which harms housing affordability. The Senate bill also might encourage the Department of Energy to move beyond its current role as a “technical advisor” and push overly prescriptive energy targets. NAHB instead supports bipartisan legislation introduced in the House by Reps. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.) and Bill Flores (R-Texas) that offers a more cost-effective way to encourage energy efficiency.

FEMA Working on New Risk Rating System Could Be a $2.5 Billion Tax Could Be a $2.5 Billion Tax Court
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has initiated a long-term effort to transform the National Flood Insurance Program to better reflect the actual risks properties face. Through the initiative, known as Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA intends to create a more accurate and fair calculation of structure-specific risks and improve the policy application process. FEMA hopes the revised risk rating system will compel more home owners to purchase flood insurance.
Landowners Win Dusky Gopher Frog Case
In a victory for property rights, a Louisiana family earlier this month reached a settlement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in which the federal government agreed to drop its efforts to designate "critical habitat" for the dusky gopher frog on their land. Now that the Fish and Wildlife Service has settled the case in favor of the Louisiana landowners, the agency is working on a proposed rulemaking to define the Endangered Species Act term “habitat.”
A new study released by NAHB based on the latest data available (2017) reveals a nearly $11,000 difference in average property tax bills among the most and least expensive congressional districts. The highest average property tax bill was $11,389 in 2017, paid by home owners residing in New York’s 17th congressional district (Rockland County and portions of Westchester County). By contrast, the lowest average annual real estate tax bill was $425, paid by home owners in Alabama’s 4th district (Franklin, Colbert, Marion, Lamar, Fayette, Walker, Winston, Cullman, Lawrence, Marshall, Etowah and DeKalb counties). Changes in the tax code from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which went into effect in 2018, capped the amount in state and local property and income taxes that a tax payer can deduct from their taxable income. Tax payers can now only deduct $10,000 in state and local taxes paid.
Rural Housing Service Revises Rules
Grants Bring Shop Class Back to High Schools
The Skilled Labor Fund, designed to address the lack of skilled labor entering the residential construction industry, has awarded more than $200,000 in grants to 42 local HBAs across the country to provide skills training to high school students. The Building Careers grant offers support for training programs provided largely by the Home Builders Institute and Career Connections funds career fairs and events. The programs will take place over the next two years and will engage roughly 24,000 students across the country. The Skilled Labor Fund, managed by the National Housing Endowment, is a partnership of NAHB, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, the National Kitchen & Bath Association, SGC Horizon and Hydrogen Advertising. The Fund focuses solely on skilled labor for the residential market.
A final rule by the Rural Housing Service will provide increased flexibility for the agency to facilitate and encourage single-close construction loans, which will stimulate new construction, rehabilitation and homeownership in rural areas. Single-close construction loans allow the borrower to get a construction loan and a permanent loan at the same time. When construction is completed, the loan becomes a traditional mortgage. Additionally, the final rule will allow for the reserve of regularly scheduled principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) payments during the construction period. The Rural Housing Service will also allow single-close loans to be used for the rehabilitation of existing dwellings upon their purchase and eliminate maximum interest rate cap requirements for all single-family home loans. The final rule was published July 22 in the Federal Register.

Share of Builder Members by Primary Business Activity – 2018
NAHB conducts a member census every year to better understand the composition and character- istics of the people who belong to its organization. In its 2018 census, NAHB found that 32 percent of its members were builders – those whose primary business is single-family home building, multifamily building, residential or commercial remodeling, commercial building, land development, or manufacturing of modular/panelized/log homes. The remaining 68 percent were associate members – those involved in support industries and professions, such as trade contractors, manufacturers, retailers/distributors, marketing professionals, designers, and architects. Roughly 61 percent of NAHB's builder members are single- family builders (spec/tract, custom, or general contracting), 22 percent are residential remodelers, 5 percent each are commercial and multifamily builders, and 4 percent are land developers. One percent each are commercial remodelers and manufacturers of modular/panelized log homes. NAHB’s builder members reported that they had a median of five employees on payroll in 2018. Builder members started a median of six housing units, up from five in 2017. The plurality of builder members – 21 percent – started two or three units. The median dollar volume of business among builder members was $2.7 million in 2018, unchanged from 2017. The median age of NAHB builder members was 57 in 2018, unchanged from 2017. Fifty-three percent of members have either a college or a graduate/professional degree.

FABA Education
When: Tuesday, August 20th Time: 11:30AM-1:00PM Location: FABA Boardroom Description: The program is not meant to be a straight slide presentation. In fact, there are very few slides to go through. This is meant to be more of an open conversation about the things a website can do for your productivity, marketing and human resources among other things. I am hoping to spark an open conversation and answer any questions people may have on the best strategies to put their website to work for them. A website can be your best employee. It doesn’t take breaks or vacations. It’s relatively cheap to maintain. It can do the job or help do the job of just about every department in your business. You just have to let it.

Legislative News
Home Builders Association of Virginia Legislative and Regulatory Update - July 2019 Virginia Housing Commission – Proffer/Impact Fee Workgroup During the 2019 General Assembly Session, HBAV successfully advanced legislation to address concerns that were raised by industry, local governments, and other stakeholders since the passage of the 2016 Proffer Law. That legislation, which will become law on July 1, 2019, sought to re-open the lines of communication between applicants and local governments and allow applicants greater flexibility to offer and agree upon different types of onsite and offsite proffers. For the most part, local governments around the state felt that the legislation was a productive improvement – however, several localities and stakeholders expressed their desire to make additional changes to the law, as well as consider legislation to expand local government’s impact fee authority. During the 2019 Session, HBAV agreed to meet with local governments and other stakeholders to discuss their concerns and legislative concepts within a sub-workgroup of the Virginia Housing Commission. Chaired by Senator Bill Stanley, this workgroup convened in June and received testimony from the High Growth Coalition and several localities. The workgroup will meet again in July to receive testimony from HBAV and other stakeholders. HBAV believes that the 2019 legislation made significant improvements to the state’s proffer statute and both local governments and the industry need time to implement the legislation before considering additional amendments and/or transitioning to an impact fee system. Virginia’s 2018 Code Update Cycle Earlier this year, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) began the 2018 Code Update Cycle. Stakeholders have submitted numerous proposals related to energy efficiency, rehabilitation of existing buildings, fire codes, and building codes. DHCD formed several workgroups comprised of building officials, fire officials, local governments, private sector representatives, and other interested parties to begin reviewing proposals. These workgroups are responsible for making recommendations (consensus vs. non-consensus) to the Board of Housing and Community Development. The Board of Housing and Community Development is expected to begin reviewing these recommendations and code proposals in the next several months. HBAV has formed a committee to review and provide input to HBAV staff on each of the code proposals. Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Working Group In April, Governor Northam’s Administration released the Commonwealth’s Draft Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan (“Phase III WIP”) for meeting the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load. The Phase III WIP includes a provision to establish a work group to develop recommendations for extending the beneficial management measures established under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act through Virginia Chesapeake Bay watershed. The workgroup will consider identifying, mapping, and protecting sensitive natural resources on lands west of I-95, protecting water quality through local land use planning and decisions, ensuring septic pump outs are increased to equal 20% of all systems in the Bay watershed being pumped in a year, determining financial and technical assistance needs of local governing bodies west of I-95, and existing state and federal programs that provide water quality protections. The workgroup will also review implementation and oversight of the existing CBPA with a focus on identifying and recommending improvements. Governor Northam’s Administration asked HBAV to serve on this workgroup which will hold its first meeting in July. Department of Environmental Quality Consolidation Regulatory Advisory Panel Earlier this year, HBAV requested to have a representative on the Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) Consolidation Regulatory Advisory Panel (RAP). During the 2016 General Assembly Session, HB 1250 and SB 673 were introduced to combine the existing Virginia Stormwater Management Act (VSMA) and the existing Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law (VESCL) to create the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act (VESMA). The legislation also directed the State Water Control Board to permit, regulate, and control both erosion and stormwater runoff. In order for this legislation to become effective, the Board is required to initiate a regulatory action to consolidate and clarify program requirements, eliminate redundancies, and correct inconsistencies between the erosion and sediment control and stormwater management program regulations to implement the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (VESMP). Affected regulations may include: 9VAC25-830 – Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Designation and Management Regulations; 9VAC25-840 – Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations; 9VAC25-850 – Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management Certification Regulations; 9VAC25-870 – Virginia Stormwater Management Program Regulation; 9VAC25-880 – General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities; and 9VAC25-890 – General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems. The State Water Control Board, through DEQ, is using the RAP to develop a proposal to implement the consolidation of these regulations. The primary function of the RAP is to develop recommended regulation amendments for agency consideration through the collaborative approach of regulatory negotiation and consensus. The goal is to reach a consensus on proposed language. The RAP will then make recommendations to the DEQ and the Director for consideration. The RAP held its first meeting on June 18th and will meet again in July. 2020 General Assembly Session Planning HBAV has begun identifying potential legislative proposals for introduction during the 2020 General Assembly Session. Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) Statutes: There are currently several statutes in the Virginia Code that grant localities the authority to implement affordable dwelling unit ordinances. The intent of these statutes was to provide incentives to builders/developers to incorporate housing units that are affordable to individuals/families at a certain range of area median income into their developments. Several localities in Northern Virginia, and Albemarle, are granted fairly broad authority to craft their ADU ordinances (15.2-2304) while other localities are authorized to enact ADU ordinances but with various restrictions and “guardrails” (15.2-2305). Although the industry does utilize the program in localities that fall under VA Code 15.2-2304, these local ordinances have not produced a substantial number of affordable housing units. In localities that fall under 15.2-2305, feedback from local governments and industry is that the program is extremely difficult to implement; and where it has been implemented, the program is rarely utilized by builders/developers. For the past several General Assembly Sessions, legislation has been introduced to allow more localities to implement ADU ordinances under 15.2-2304 – HBAV has successfully defeated these bills. During the 2020 Session, HBAV would like to advance legislation that would allow localities to enact voluntary, incentive-based affordable dwelling unit ordinances. Earlier this year, HBAV applied for financial assistance from the NAHB State and Local Issues Fund. In June, NAHB awarded HBAV $20,000 to assist in this initiative. Other Potential Legislative Initiatives: Revisions to Virginia’s tree preservation, replacement, planting statutes New Construction Tax Abatement Raising DPOR licensure exemption threshold Legacy of Legislative and Regulatory Success 2019 pections. Effective September 4, 2019, all Commercial renovation and alteration work in or on existing buildings will be reviewed using the 2015 Virginia Existing Building Code.
Update on recent savings yielded from HBAV advocacy in the last 12 months Building Code - (spent countless hours in meetings and testimony) Defeated Mandatory Arc Fault - $250 per home Defeated mandatory fire sprinklers - $5000 per home. Impact Fees - Defeated two pieces of legislation to allow local government to collect impact fees on all new home permits. Saved a minimum of $5k per home. Could be as much as $20k per home as it is in Maryland. Building Permit Fees - passes legislation stating that building permit fees must only be used to run the building permit and inspection office. Fees can’t be used as a profit center. Savings - min $100 per home. Tree Replacement - Defeated three pieces of legislation that would have required builders to replace all trees with the same size diameter that was removed. Saved a minimum of $500 per home. Stormwater - protecting the construction general permit grandfather clauses and working on the new construction general permit for stormwater discharge. Saved developers thousands. Also stopped the regulations from requiring ALL dumpsters at building sites to be covered. Savings of a min of $100 per home. Stopped dozens of mandatory affordable housing bills! Total Snapshot of savings per home-$10,950
Spotsylvania Community Development Important Changes -- Wednesday, September 4, 2019 All building permit applications received on or after September 4, 2019 will be reviewed and permitted under the 2015 Virginia Construction Code. Effective September 4, 2019 all plans for Single family homes will be accepted in electronic format ONLY for review and approval. Contractor will need to print a paper copy of the Approved plans to have on site for all Inspections. Effective September 4, 2019, all Commercial renovation and alteration work in or on existing buildings will be reviewed using the 2015 Virginia Existing Building Code.
