CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE CURRAN RULES IN FAVOR OF VIRGINIA HOME BUILDERS
In Williamsburg Judge Currant has ruled that the 2010 HBAV backed per lot cash proffer payment delay legislation applied to per lot cash proffers formed prior to the July 1, 2010 effective date of the legislation. James City County is one of less than a handful of localities in Virginia which has continued to accept per lot cash proffers after the July 1, 2010, effective date of HB 374, which stated the following: notwithstanding the provisions of any cash proffer requested, offered, or accepted pursuant to 15.2-2298, 15.2-2303 or 15.2-2303.1 of the Code of Virginia for residential construction on a per dwelling unit or per home basis, cash payment made pursuant to such a cash proffer shall be collected or accepted by any locality only after completion of the final inspection and prior to the time of the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for the subject property. The matter was placed before the City of Williamsburg and James City Co. Circuit Court on June 29, 2011, by James City County, claiming they were not sure how to interpret the plain language of the statute, with regard to its applicability to per-lot cash proffers formed prior to the July 1, 2010 effective date of the HB 374. James City County argued that since the legislation did clearly state that it was to be applied "retroactively" it only applied to per lot cash proffers formed after July 1, 2010. In seeking the interpretation of the statute from the Circuit Court, James City Co. names five developers, who had paid per lot cash proffers after the effective date of HB 374 on July 1, 2010, as defendants. HBAV was allowed to join the suit by the Circuit Court and helped fund the legal expenses of the case through the HBAV Legal Action Fund.
