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.

Biker asked, "
What would the impact fee have to be increased by to offset the approximately 25% increase ". That has NOTHING to do with the cost of the infrastructure. Nothing. It's simple math. Taxes increased, say, $50,000,000. Divide that by the 3,000 new homes. Boom..........+$15,000 fee increase.
Your math......150% increase time 3,000 new homes = about $4,000,000. A tad short.
Like Biker said, qualitative nonsense.
