Overview
Impact fees are one-time charges levied by local governments on new developments to assist with funding the infrastructure required by new growth. The concept behind impact fees is that while development can bring many benefits, it also affects infrastructure needs.
New development adds people, which means more traffic to roadways and other transportation infrastructure as well as increasing the demand for parks and recreational facilities, libraries, law enforcement, fire and emergency management facilities, schools, and other public buildings. To accommodate this growth, additional capital investment is required.
Sarasota County has seven growth-related impact fees, including Educational System, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Fire, General Government, Justice Facilities, Law Enforcement, and Parks.
