Amount $1,708.50 CONFIRMED from the city's own 2025 MUNICIPAL IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE PDF, page 1, MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCE (Per Dwelling) block, row '801 - 1,399': ROADS $1,708.50 (alongside FIRE & RESCUE $458.37, POLICE $104.67, PARKS $1,416.60, LIBRARY $274.13, PUBLIC BUILDINGS $152.51, TOTAL $4,114.78).

INDEXING CONFIRMED LANDED: the 2024 schedule's MF 801-1,399 roads cell reads $1,566.13 against 2025's $1,708.50, so this is the post-adjustment figure, not the un-indexed base of $1,139. No 2026 municipal schedule exists (that URL 404s; the 2026 items on the city fees page are Palm Beach COUNTY documents). WORTH RECORDING SO IT IS NOT 'FIXED' LATER: Riviera Beach applies the SAME per-unit amounts to multifamily as to single-family within each size bracket — there is no MF multiplier — so the MF figure differs from the SFR figure only because the canonical MF unit sits in a smaller bracket. This is NOT the Lantana copy-the-SFR-rate defect.

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.
