City$0.00
  • City Impact Fees (Columbia County - Unincorporated) - N/A
    Columbia County Board of County Commissioners
    Mandatory City-type placeholder. The unincorporated area has no municipal government, so no city/municipal impact fees apply by definition. Development is subject to the county overlay (Ch. 56: educational fee adopted but suspended; EMS/fire/correctional/road suspended since 1/1/2009) and to county water/sewer capacity charges under Ch. 118 Sec. 118-553. $0.

County$0.00
  • County Educational System Impact Fee (Columbia County) - Suspended
    Columbia County School Board
    County Code Ch. 56 Art. II (Educational System Impact Fee, Ord. 2007-41). Sec. 56-221(a) prints a phase-in ramp ending 10/1/2012 and continuing at SFR/mobile home $3,500 and MF $1,645 per dwelling unit. Sec. 56-221(b) bars collection during the suspension period and Sec. 56-222 (Ord. 2011-15, 7-21-2011) establishes it; collection resumes only on a Board amendment reimposing the fee and expiration of the Sec. 56-249 notice period.

The Board voted 4/18/2024 to resume road impact fees 10/1/2024 at 2007-study rates (SF detached $1,046/unit; apartment $720/unit); the County Attorney's 9/19/2024 memo recommended rescinding it (2007 schedule incompatible with FS 163.31801(11); Sec. 56-152 90-day notice never given), and a new fee study is required first.

How impact fees work in Florida

Florida impact fees are one-time charges on new development, governed by Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes (the Florida Impact Fee Act). The statute requires fees to be based on the most recent and localized data, spent on the infrastructure category they were collected for, and adopted by ordinance.

Since 2021, the law also limits how fast fees can rise: increases up to 25% phase in over two years, increases of 25–50% phase in over four years, and increases above 50% are allowed only with a demonstrated extraordinary-circumstances study and at least a two-thirds vote of the governing body.

Counties and cities can both levy impact fees. Inside an incorporated city, a project typically pays the county's countywide fees plus any municipal fees the city has adopted, which is why totals differ between a city and the unincorporated county around it.
