Core Beliefs
Fair Regulation
SHBA supports the adoption of uniform development regulations and codes between Spokane regional jurisdictions to provide predictability and certainty.
Good Governance
Uphold transparency and accountability amongst our elected officials and government staff. Support fiscally responsible government spending that supports future growth and community building.
Support Growth
Support private property rights and the development of urban growth areas based on objective data that takes the availability of buildable land into account. Artificial restrictions and regulations on growth increase construction costs and raise barriers to housing attainability.
Effective Representation in Government
Promoting Policy That Grows Your Business and Our Community
SHBA Government Affairs represents Association members at all levels of government. Staff and members monitor, testify, and report on issues including impact fees, environmental policies, land use, and a multitude of other issues impacting the residential construction industry.
