SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Derelict buildings. Defines derelict buildings as a building, whether or not construction has been completed, that might endanger the public’s health, safety, or welfare and has been (i) vacant, (ii) boarded up in accordance with the building code, and (iii) not lawfully connected to electric service from a utility service provider or not lawfully connected to any required water or sewer service from a utility service provider for a continuous period in excess of six months. Authorizes local governments to incentivize owners' timely submission of a plan for demolition or renovation, by providing real estate tax abatements and fee refunds. Simplifies tax lien enforcement and blight provisions and encourages action on derelict buildings by adjusting time frames. This bill is recommended by the Virginia Housing Commission. This bill is identical to SB 1094.
