GA HB656

Expands the definition of "public facilities" eligible for development impact fees to include facilities produced through agreements between developers and governmental entities (covering water, wastewater, roads, stormwater, parks, public safety, and libraries)

Extends the deadline for local governments to encumber or begin construction using collected impact fees from 6 years to 10 years before triggering refund requirements

Revises the definition of "proportionate share" to clarify it means costs reasonably related to service demands "caused by a project" rather than general needs within a service area

Requires refund notices to be published within 30 days after the new 10-year period expires (changed from the previous 6-year period)

Amends Chapter 71 of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated governing development impact fees
