Show Notes
Thurston County commissioners are set to vote on a new ordinance requiring home sellers to obtain an energy efficiency score before listing their property. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 2 PM. However, local realtors strongly oppose the idea, citing potential increases in housing costs and minimal impact on climate change. They also warn of potential conflicts with state law, which could block the use of real estate excise tax funds for projects like roads, parks, and affordable housing. The board previously skipped a vote, and residents can comment during Tuesdays meeting.
