Jefferson County Commission Considers New Impact Fee Structure
County Commission Looks At Changes To Impact Fees
The Independent Observer | Friday, November 1, 2024
In a recent article by The Independent Observer, it is reported that Jefferson County, which has been collecting impact fees since 2004, is on the verge of revising its fee schedule based on an upcoming report by the consulting firm TischlerBise. The County Commission plans to hold a public hearing on the new recommendations on November 19, followed by a vote on November 21, with the new fees potentially taking effect on January 1, 2025. Significant changes have occurred since the school impact fee was drastically reduced to $1 for residential categories, and there are considerations for inflation adjustments for different sectors. Recent discussions suggest that inflation trends might lead to further increases in impact fees in the coming years, although the Commission will have final approval on these adjustments each year.
