CITY & COUNTY Austin seeks to limit abortion law effects AUSTIN City Council could vote to reduce the local effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s rollback of abortion rights by limiting the city’s involvement in abortion-re- lated enforcement. The Supreme Court issued its 6-3 opinion overturning Roe v. Wade on June 24, paving the way for Texas to move forward with its near-total abortion ban. Last leg- islative session, Texas lawmakers passed a “trigger law”—the Human Life Protection Act of 2021—which will go into effect following the court’s formal judgment overturn- ing Roe v. Wade. The law will be effective 30 days after the court issues its judgment on the Roe case, which is separate from the opinion issued this month. Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office will announce the act’s effective date after that action, which could take a month.

QUOTE OF NOTE

City advances on terminal takeover AUSTIN The city will move ahead with a lawsuit aimed at acquiring Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s South Terminal to clear the way for a long-term expansion. Eminent domain proceedings approved by City Council on June 16 seek to take over the South Terminal property from its owner, LoneStar Airport Holdings. As part of the city aviation department’s Airport Expansion and Develop- ment Program, the 10-gate facility currently home to Frontier and Allegiant airlines would be shut- tered to clear the way for other airport improvements. While most of the airport is already owned by the city, Austin entered into a 30-year lease agree- ment for LoneStar’s operation of the South Terminal in 2016. The terminal property is cur- rently appraised at $1.95 million, according to the city.

AUSTIN ABORTION RESOLUTION The city passed a resolution that it would not use city funds for activities related to reporting abortions except where required by state or federal law. Here is a list of some activities the city will not use funds for:

PEOPLE Gage Mueller Solar energy specialist, ADT Solar BY LAURA ROBB

Gage Mueller, a solar energy specialist at ADT Solar, has experience in the solar industry as both a customer and a service provider. After installing solar panels on his own house in 2017, Mueller’s interest in solar grew until he decided to pursue a career in the industry in 2020 with SunPro—now known as ADT Solar, a residential and commercial solar panel company. In 2020, ADT Solar installed panels which produced more than 43,600 kilowatts of solar energy in Texas, according to Solar Power World. Answers have been edited for length and clarity.

WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD PEOPLE ASK WHEN CONSIDERING SOLAR? Homeowners should ask: ‘Do I qual- ify for the tax credit?’ They should call their [certied public accountant], because the solar sales guy will say, ‘The government will give you 26%.’ But it’s not true—you have to qualify. The other question that I tell people to get answered is: How will this aect your homeowner’s insurance? The panels are attached to your dwelling. Per the law, anything attached to the dwelling is covered by homeowner’s insurance. Your premium may go up—but you need to know that ahead of time to make an informed decision. Once solar is up, there’s nothing you can do. DOES SOLAR AFFECT APPRAIS ALS AND PROPERTY TAXES? Most of the time, solar increases the value of your house—which is good, but you don’t pay a higher property tax. If your house appraises for $200,000 today and you put $20,000 worth of solar on it, then it appraised for $220,000. Your tax liability is still $200,000—because $20,000 is solar renewable energy and qualies for an exemption. So

you gain the value in the appraisal, but not in property taxes. WHAT CREDITS AND REBATES ARE AVAILABLE? It’s a federal tax credit. There is a dierence between the words ‘credit’ and ‘rebate.’ It’s a credit, so you do have to qualify. Currently, it’s 26% of the cost of the solar or the contract. That can mean installation costs, panels, inverters, bolts, railing, all of it. The credit is good through the end of 2022. Next year, it drops to 22%. In 2024, on the residential side, it goes away. WHAT VARIABLES CAN AFFECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOLAR PANELS? It can depend on a lot of things. You need to ask yourself: How does your house sit? Do you have a good, southern-facing roof? It doesn’t have to face south, but it helps. Are there obstructions causing shading? The sun has to be able to hit those panels in order for it to do its job. Is the roof less than 5 years old? Does it have roof penetrations? Those elements can complicate installations. ... People like fancy roof lines, but they aren’t very conducive for solar.

Gage Mueller said solar panels can increase a home’s value without increasing property taxes. (George Wiebe/Community Impact Newspaper)

STATE stats

According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the national trade association for the solar industry, Texas was ranked number one in the nation for solar panel use in the rst quarter of 2022.

HOME IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

out for you and x it for a at fee of about $60. The reason I recommend that, a homeowner does not have to nd a plumber or an electrician immediately. You can call one place. Some are better than others. They are relatively cheap for a call-out fee and generally have quick turnaround times. I suggest researching their reviews and their coverage as they can be a real timesaver for owners. HOW DOES A HOMEOWNER CHOOSE A PROPERTY MANAGER? Every property manager has to be licensed as a Realtor, but every Realtor does not have to handle property management. The dierence is your agent will lease the property for you and work with you up to the point the house is leased. A property manager also will be the point of contact for the tenant for any issues during the lease. But a property manager can make an owner lose money depending on their practices. Properties that are merely listed on MLS take longer to rent. I suggest making sure they list on our MLS (that ensures other agents will bring their tenant clients) and make sure they answer their calls on the weekends, at least while it’s listed. Most tenants with agents look during the weekend, and I can’t tell you how many times we try to show tenants, the keys won’t work and because it’s a property manager that only works during the week, we can’t show the home.

too fancy. This will give an updated and clean feel. Try not to waste too much on landscaping. Make sure the property has a neatly mowed lawn and clean ower beds, but tenants don’t tend to care too much. Also, owners should not expect them to care for the yard as well as they would. WHAT ARE THE COLOR TRENDS IN THE RENTAL PROPERTY BUSINESS? Owners denitely want to go as neutral as possible. They will probably have to repaint in between each tenant, so an easy-to-get, popular color like o-white for the walls is most cost-eective. It helps brighten up the rooms and will match any furniture the renters have. For ooring, we saw a lot of grays over the last decade but that has started to become less popular, and classic wood colors are coming back. For carpet, light neutrals that brighten the room help the home look clean. WHAT KIND OF ESSENTIAL REPAIRS SHOULD A HOMEOWNER LOOK AT? WHAT WOULD BE A REASONABLE COST TO EXPECT IN AUSTIN? With what tenants pay for rent now, they expect everything to be in working order immediately. Having a trusty handyman on call is sometimes hard to nd, so I always suggest having a good home warranty, which costs about $500 per year. If anything breaks, for example a leak or a wall needs repair, or air conditioning, they call the contractor

ASK A REALTOR

Monica Jones, a Realtor at Compass Realty in Austin, oers advice to homeowners interested in renting out their property and shares what renters are looking for in a home.

HOW SHOULD HOMEOWNERS PREPARE THEIR HOMES BEFORE PUTTING THEM ON THE RENTAL MARKET? If the home is in pretty good shape, the best thing one can do is to make sure the walls are painted and the ooring looks nice. Also, get it cleaned by professionals. You wouldn’t believe the states some of these homes are in, and it can be a matter of hundreds of dollars if a home looks clean. If the carpet has stains that do not come out in the professional cleaning, get quotes on inexpensive carpet because you will probably have to [recarpet].

HOW CAN PEOPLE MAXIMIZE THEIR MONEY WHEN RENOVATING FOR RENTAL? If you want to put some money into the home, updated kitchens and bathrooms are always your best return. Painting cabinets and having counters such as granite, or stone counters that are more durable as opposed to formica, are what tenants care more about as opposed to backsplashes or new appliances. After the kitchen, the bathrooms are a great return on renovations. Ikea and Home Depot carry ready-made vanities. It doesn’t have to be

DEVELOPMENT BREAKDOWN City Council signed o on two measures tied to Austin’s housing crisis June 9. One expands an existing aordable development program, while the other could reduce limits on new development along major roadways.

neighborhoods linked to amenities and transit while building up much-needed housing stock. The June changes expand a program bringing taller mixed-use buildings on major streets and could reduce restrictions on projects near single-family homes. Those steps are among the most notable the city has taken on since a proposed rewrite of its land development code stalled this spring. But the changes are not backed by all in the community, with some concerned that new allow- ances could cause disruption for neighborhoods and businesses without bringing enough benets. And among more supportive developers and coun- cil members, some said the action may not bring enough relief to Austin’s housing pressures and aordability concerns. “I’m not saying that I’m opposed to those changes by any means; I think it’s a good incremental prog- ress. It’s just, to me, it feels like a drop in the bucket,” said Chris Anito, president of Austin developer Heartwood Real Estate Group. Compatibility constraints Both updates are aimed at encouraging devel- opment on Austin’s major corridors—Burnet Road, Congress Avenue, Lamar Boulevard, and future Project Connect rail and bus routes, for example— where, to varying levels, many believe denser hous- ing belongs. One move City Council initially approved June 9 aims to loosen Austin’s strict limits on building height next to single-family homes, or compatibility stan- dards, which some developers point to as a hindrance on new construction. The regulations are designed to protect existing single-family homes from being overshadowed by larger developments within a cer- tain distance, and cover limits on yard sizes, height and overall building size. One aspect of compatibility acts as a cap on new building heights stretching outward from an exist- ing residence. Alongside other local development requirements, compatibility can often force devel- opers to reduce or abandon construction plans. Austin’s current height limits, and the distance over which a home’s inuence extends, stand out when compared with Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and other rapidly growing peers such as Charlotte,

Austin’s vertical mixed-use, or VMU, program has brought thousands of housing units to the city, including hundreds reserved for those earning lower incomes. Even more could be coming under the expanded VMU2 option. Vertical mixed use (VMU): A city bonus program granting extra building height in exchange for some aordable housing units.

as integral to a quality urban life and as a fundamen- tal part of zoning. This protection is more important as redevelopment occurs and cities get denser,” the group said in a statement. “Compatibility between structures and uses, not incompatibility, is the foun- dation of aordable, livable large cities.” The proposed updates would not completely wipe away Austin’s decades-old limits on building height and other characteristics. Rather, the changes would grant denser developments more leeway with com- patibility when building on busy streets. Council’s proposal is now being reviewed ahead of a nal vote as soon as September. More mixed-use In June, council members also agreed to broaden one of Austin’s most prolic aordable building pro- grams: vertical mixed-use, or VMU. The program allows for a trade-o granting taller

Denver and Atlanta. Erica Leak, a development o- cer at Austin’s housing department, said the lim- itations are “the most restrictive” that city sta are aware of. “There are a lot of fast-growing cities, but ours has been growing faster; our housing crisis is worse; and there is an obvious reason why that should be solved fairly easily,” Anito said. Over the past several years, Austin attempted to rework compatibility standards through a revision of the city’s 1980s land code. A group of homeown- ers successfully challenged that process in court, leaving a broader rewrite o the table, and many still believe the limits should not be reduced. Commu- nity Not Commodity, which did not favor council’s recent process, said considerations for homeowners should still be in place regardless of the city’s push for new development. “Access to light and air has long been recognized
