District 1 Commission Office
Requested Action:
Recommendation
To direct staff to move forward with Fire and EMS impact fee studies. If the board wishes, we could also talk about the other impact fees and possibly give direction on doing those studies as well.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
If the board elects to increase impact fees to be comparable with other Florida counties, the impact fee increase process requires that the increase be implemented within one year of the completion of the study.
The impact fee comparison attached to the agenda item notates that Brevard County is 20th lowest of the 22 counties listed. Brevard County impact fee rate payers are currently paying a fraction of the fees of the other counties included.
Making sure our impact fees are comparable with other Florida counties is critical to funding the infrastructure necessary to sustain Brevard county’s current and future needs.
