Why this matters
For Michigan taxpayers building a new single-family home, permit fees can add hundreds to thousands of dollars to project cost; an income-tax credit would shift a portion of that cost from the homeowner to the state’s general fund. It is part of a small cluster of introduced bills using the individual income tax and sales/use tax codes to reduce the cost of new home construction, and would narrow the state’s tax base if enacted.
