13. Impact Fees:

Planning Board Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns impact fees for future development within the City of Palatka. The Planning Board is reviewing how developers will be required to pay impact and connection fees. These fees are mandated by city code and state law and are due when a certificate of occupancy is issued for each development. This process is currently under review. While no specific project is detailed, the eventual payment of these fees will be tied to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for new construction. This implies future development projects that will require site preparation, construction, and utility connections. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor future development announcements and engage with potential developers early to understand project timelines and requirements. Early engagement can provide an advantage as projects move from planning to permitting and construction phases.
