Large local governments would publish quarterly housing data

A covered county or municipality would publish quarterly reports about residential land use applications and building permits. The rule would cover each class A county and each municipality with more than 30,000 people under the latest federal census. Reports would go on the county's or municipality's website. The reports would also go to the Economic Development Department and the Legislative Finance Committee. Reports would include application and permit totals, approval and denial results, processing times, planned housing units, assigned planning staff, and space for explanations. Residential land use applications would include site plans, development plans, rezoning plans, master plans, subdivision plats, or equivalent plans for projects with more than three units. The reporting requirement would begin July 1, 2026, and would use information from the immediately preceding quarter.
