How impact fees work in Florida and what changes under the new law
Impact fees in Florida are set to change under the newly passed state bill HB 337 which Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign into law.
Here are things you should know about impact fees and why they should matter to all Florida residents, not just developers, builders and homebuyers.
What are impact fees, anyway?
Impact fees are a one-time fee assessed to either developers or builders for new homes, including townhouses, apartments and condominiums, as well as new commercial developments.
The purpose is to help pay for increased infrastructure demands created by the new growth.

Dunnellon pauses search for new city administrator
DUNNELLON City Council members have decided to temporarily delay their search for a new city administrator.
Instead, at Monday night s meeting, city officials said the best course of action is to table the issue until their next gathering, scheduled for February.
Unlike other Marion County governments – the cities of Ocala and Belleview and county commission – that meet twice a month, Dunnellon city councilors only get together once a month. (They also gather once a month for a workshop.)
Police Chief Mike McQuaig, presently pulling double duty as chief and city administrator, told councilors he has not yet put together a salary plan for the position.
