Housing affordability is a measure of the ability for homeowners and renters to keep pace with the rising cost of housing (i.e., property taxes, rent increases, assessments, and associated costs). The housing affordability red tape reduction actions are intended to create a more affordable housing market within the County and increase overall housing options.
Red tape reduction refers to the reduction of land use barriers, timelines and costs associated with current County regulations for both non-market housing and more affordable housing forms.
