Fee Waivers
The City of Austin waives fees for developments that are certified as S.M.A.R.T. HousingTM by the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department. Fee waivers are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Below, you will find additional information regarding fee waivers.
Fee waivers are provided for developments in which at least 10 percent of the units meet the "reasonably priced" standard, by serving families at or below 80 percent of the Austin Area Median Family Income.
