This is the capacity/impact component. Expansions and changes of use are recharged on the increment. PER-GALLON basis — no meter ladder for this charge; the separate Sec. 28-182 minimum connection charge IS meter-based (entered separately).

City$0.48/sq ft
  • Police Protection Impact Fee (City of Homestead, Commercial)
    City of Homestead
    Code Sec. 6-52(1)a.4 (Ord. 2025-09-25, adopted 9-9-2025), 'Impact fee for new and/or increased footage of existing habitable structure', per square foot. Verified verbatim against the adopted Building Division Fee Schedule PDF (homesteadfl.gov DocumentCenter/View/5861, p.3): Police Protection 0.47 / 0.38; Parks & Recreation 2.17 / —; Public Works 0.10 / 0.10; Total 2.74 / 0.48. UNCONFIRMED — COLUMN-HEADER WORDING: the two columns are headed 'Fee (Resident)' and 'Fee (Non-Resident)', not 'Residential/Nonresidential'. Read as residential vs nonresidential (the only coherent reading: Parks has NO figure in the second column, and a residency-of-owner distinction would not zero out a parks fee). $0.38/sf entered as the nonres police rate. Single nonres rate — no category split in the schedule. Confirm the column meaning with Development Services, (305) 224-4500.
    $0.38/sq ftRequires confirmation
  • Public Works Impact Fee (City of Homestead, Commercial)
    City of Homestead
    Code Sec. 6-52(1)a.4 (Ord. 2025-09-25), per sq ft of new/increased footage. $0.10/sf — same figure in both columns. Single nonres rate, no category split. Unconfirmed only as to the 'Resident'/'Non-Resident' column wording (see the Police Protection record). Call (305) 224-4500.
    $0.10/sq ftRequires confirmation
  • Parks & Recreation Impact Fee (City of Homestead, Commercial)
    City of Homestead
    $0 — nonres exempt. Code Sec. 6-52(1)a.4 (Ord. 2025-09-25) prints Parks & Recreation at 2.17 in the first column and a DASH in the second (nonresidential) column, and the nonres Total ($0.48) equals Police ($0.38) + Public Works ($0.10) exactly — so parks is not charged to nonres. Consistent with the FL norm that park/rec fees exempt nonresidential development.

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.

Can Florida impact fees increase at any time?
