The commissioners are researching the possibility of imposing additional/new impact fees. In this meeting they discussed the following impact fees:
• A fire services impact fee
• A law enforcement impact fee
• An impact fee for the public safety radio system
• A jail and court impact fee
• An animal shelter impact fee
• A recreation impact fee
• A library services impact fee
You can be sure that, just like the roads, more of these hidden fees will have a big impact on your wallet.
If impact fees are imposed to cover the cost of those items, the "big impact on your wallet" will be a fattening, as our property tax is rolled back when the Developer starts to pay his fair share.
