Orange County's Transportation Impact Fee Update Heads Toward a Fall 2026 Vote

Orange County's first comprehensive transportation impact fee study since 2021 was presented to commissioners on June 16, 2026. A binding ordinance vote is expected in fall 2026. Here is where the rate stands, what Florida law allows, and what the timing means for permits.

Orlando's Transportation Impact Fee Waiver: Up to $20,000 Back on Change-of-Use Projects

The City of Orlando reimburses qualifying small businesses up to $20,000 of the transportation impact fee triggered by a change of use. Here is who qualifies, what is excluded, and how the city's related payment plan and not-for-profit program work.

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 a 2021 amendment (Ch. 2021-63, Laws of Florida), 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.

If you're still asking what are impact fees, start with our guide to the definition, common categories, and legal basis.
