Water Issues in GA will effect Housing Prices

By Anne | May 29, 2008

This will have a major impact on housing. Once one county starts – others will follow. It will increase the cost to the sellers and therefore will raise the prices that the buyers will ultimately pay. While I certainly understand that there is a water issue here in Georgia, I think that mandating this is not the solution.

Retrofit at Resale Ordinance Effective June 1

DeKalb County

On February 5, 2008, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners adopted an ordinance that affects transactions of every property in unincorporated areas of the county on which there is a building constructed before January 1, 1993.

The purpose of the ordinance is to require that all plumbing fixtures on the property be certified as “low-flow” or water-conserving fixtures before the buyer of the property can receive water service. If a qualifying property does not contain low-flow fixtures, then the fixtures must be replaced or retrofitted to be low-flow (hence, the term “retrofit at resale”).

This ordinance becomes effective for residential properties on June 1, 2008, and for commercial properties, including apartments, on January 1, 2009.
