Bill > H0697

This bill amends Florida's Impact Fee Act to establish minimum requirements for the adoption of impact fees by local governments. It requires that the calculation of impact fees be based on the most recent and localized data, that impact fee revenues be accounted for and expenditures be specifically earmarked for new capital facilities, and that the collection of impact fees be reasonably connected to the increased impact generated by new development. The bill also specifies a process for local government review and approval of detailed specific area plans or related development orders, including timelines for application review and a requirement for written findings supporting the local government's decision.
