That will have to be determined by the results of an impact study.
As another poster earlier explained, the amount of impact fees has to be determined by a calculation of the infrastructure costs imposed on the county by the new construction. That is why the County Commission needs to immediately contract for a study of the cost of non-road infrastructure.
An impact-fee study was done in 2019 with respect only to roads, and then the puppet commissioners only imposed a road impact fee in 40% of the amount justified by the study-- while increasing our taxes by 25%. Thus, it would seem, on the basis of that study, the current ROAD impact fee could immediately be increased by 150%, i.e. up to 100% of the amount shown in the 2019 study.
