City School Board Chairman Butch Campbell still wants to plan for new schools
Murfreesboro officials have planned for impact fees since raising property taxes by 35.8% in 2019
Latest impact fees proposal shows scale based on housing size
"There’s not another school planned," city manager Craig Tindall told Martin during a City Council meeting. "We felt like parks and streets are the needs now."
Martin and other councilmembers responded to the proposed impact fees for parks-recreation and streets by asking consultant L. Carson Bise II to expand the impact fee study to include schools, police and firefighting capital improvements.
The consultant in November initially showed a flat impact fee of $6,276 per house with $3,881 for parks-recreation and $2,395 for streets. A revised plan at the request of council ranges from a total fee of $1,960 per residential dwelling of 800 square feet or less to $7,871 for each new home that has 4,001 square feet or more.
