The Growth Management Fact Book is a trusted advocacy resource that helps state and local REALTOR® associations understand, evaluate, and respond to land use and growth management policies affecting their communities. It provides objective, research-based information to support position statements, policy advocacy, member education, and engagement in local community planning processes.
The Fact Book covers topics including moratoria, impact fees, adequate public facilities, transfer of development rights, open space preservation, form-based codes, parking reform, rental regulations, inclusionary zoning, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), missing middle housing, and more.
Each chapter examines how these policies affect property values, development costs, housing affordability, and development patterns, while outlining the pros and cons of various approaches and highlighting market-based, incentive-driven alternatives.
