MCER NO. 11-23: PROPOSED MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS REGULATION
Townhouse Rent Rates for Moderately Priced Housing and HIF Payments for Developments of 11-19 Units
SUMMARY: This proposed Executive Regulation was published in the September Register, because of comments received, DHCA made significant changes to section 25A.00.02.03.1(b) and the entire regulation is being re-advertised. The purpose of the regulation has not changed. The proposed regulation has three (3) objectives: 1) to clarify the rent rate calculation method for townhomes in the MPDU program, 2) to clarify the obligation to make a payment to the HIF for developments of 11-19 by establishing a formula on which to calculate that payment for rental buildings and a process to collect such payments, and 3) to make stylistic editorial changes to be consistent with other MPDU Regulations. This regulation would supersede Executive Regulation 11-18AM.
