Abstract:

There are 3 types of impact fees in Florida for transportation. The Broward County model is based on computer-driven trip modelling and is site-specific. It is considered the most sophisticated type of impact fee, but because of its dependence on monitoring the computer, is expensive and has not been the one that is typical of the state. The Sarasota County impact fee is very similar to a special assessment and is described as an improvement-driven fee. Sarasota planned for a 5-year improvement program on the basis of assigning costs to different land uses to pay for those particular requirements. The third approach is a needs-driven impact fee based on the Palm Beach County impact fee. This fee works on the basis of a formula that considers trip generation, trip length, trip distribution, construction costs, and credit for motor fuel revenue. The fee is assessed by land use types and a gross fee is calculated; credits are subtracted to get a net fee. Land use exemptions and the time of collection of fees are also discussed.
