Impact Fee Information
Impact fees in Florida are one-time fees assessed by local governments on new development projects to help fund the infrastructure and public services needed to support community growth. These fees may help pay for improvements such as roads, schools, parks, and public safety facilities, and are typically collected during the building permit process. The purpose of impact fees is to ensure that the cost of growth is shared by new development rather than existing taxpayers.
Additionally, certain County Impact fees are collected on properties located within city limits. Details of these fees can be found here: Polk County Impact Fees.
