Per the recent changes to State Law (H.B. No. 852), the residential reinvestment goal measure is no longer tracked by the dollar value for the additions/alterations of residential properties. Sec. 214.907. Prohibition of certain value-based building permit and inspection fees, "A municipality may not require the disclosure of information related to the value of or cost of construction or improving a residential dwelling as a condition of obtaining a building permit except as required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program." This bill was signed by the governor on May 21, and was effective immediately. This bill only applies to residential reinvestment. For additional information on H.B. No. 852, please visit https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/billtext/pdf/HB00852F.pdf#navpanes=0.

Staff will revisit building permit data for a new goal measure. Due to the law passing, a target was not established for Q4 of FY 2019 provided that the data is no longer captured using valuation.
