  • City of Fort Pierce Impact Fees (Ch. 113)
    City of Fort Pierce
    Internal research note: Fort Pierce Code ch. 113 (Municode, current through 2026) creates five city impact fees — parks and recreation, government buildings, solid waste, stormwater and transportation — each imposed 'in accordance with the fee schedule established by resolution'. The operative schedule is the '60% Master Impact Fee Schedule effective 2/17/2009', still posted on the city's Planning Applications and Forms page in 2026. Single Family Detached, 1,500—2,499 sf bracket (the bracket containing the 2,000 sf SFR convention): parks and recreation $783.41 + transportation $586.20 + government buildings $421.73 + solid waste $135.92 = $1,927.26, which is the schedule's own printed 'Total (excluding stormwater fee)' column. Stormwater is separately $0.04 per sq ft of impervious area and cannot be reduced to a per-unit figure. Cross-check: the city's FY2024-25 Impact Fee Report lists individual single-family waivers of $1,631—$2,335, consistent with this schedule plus stormwater. Applicability caveat: Ord. 24-041 and its successor Ord. 25-033 suspend collection of these city impact fees inside the designated Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area through November 3, 2026; outside that area the fees are collected. St. Lucie County road/school/parks/library/public-building/law-enforcement/fire-EMS impact fees are collected separately by the city for the county under interlocal agreement. SB 180 check: these city fees were adopted in 2009 and have not been increased; the only post-8/1/2024 action is a moratorium that reduces fees, so SB 180 is not implicated. Other brackets if the owner wants them: <1,500 sf $1,616.21; 2,500+ sf $2,089.71. 8/5/2026.

    Internal research note: Fort Pierce Code ch. 113 creates five city impact fees (parks and recreation, government buildings, solid waste, stormwater, transportation), each set 'in accordance with the fee schedule established by resolution'. The operative schedule is the '60% Master Impact Fee Schedule effective 2/17/2009', still posted on the city's Planning Applications and Forms page in 2026. It carries an explicit per-dwelling-unit Multi Family line: parks and recreation $780.13 + transportation $452.19 + government buildings $369.81 + solid waste $92.39 = $1,694.52, the schedule's own printed 'Total (excluding stormwater fee)' figure. Because the schedule publishes a genuine per-du multifamily rate, the meter-size/no-per-unit rule does not apply and this is FEE_FOUND. Stormwater is separately $0.04 per sq ft of impervious area and is not reducible to a per-unit figure. Applicability caveat: Ord. 24-041 and successor Ord. 25-033 suspend collection of these city impact fees inside the designated Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area through November 3, 2026.

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.
