<br />I. Introduction
<br />The provisions of Substitute House Bill (SHB) 2060 became effective in Washington
<br />State on June 13, 2002.
<br />SHB 2060 created a document recording fee on certain documents to be utilized for low
<br />income housing. Administration of the fund is shared between local governments and the State.

<br />between the county and the cities and towns within King County.

<br />(RAHP) /2060 Planning Group convenes to plan for the use of King County SHB 2060 funds.
