6) Source: Putnam Country Development Services
Highlands County is reviewing its land use impact fees, specifically for fire and emergency medical services. This review is part of a larger impact fee study conducted by Benesch, with the latest update in April 2026. The study compares impact fees across various Florida counties for different land uses, including single-family homes, light industrial, office, and retail spaces. The county is currently in the planning and review phase of this civic agenda item. This process could lead to future construction projects that would require site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review, as early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could offer a competitive advantage for upcoming work.

6) Total impact cost per functional resident (Item 1) less total capital expansion credit per functional resident
Highlands County is reviewing a proposed impact fee schedule for Fire Rescue and Emergency Medical Services. This schedule is based on a study that calculated the net impact cost per functional resident for various land uses. The proposed fees would apply to new residential and non-residential developments. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, the new impact fees could influence the financial planning and feasibility of future construction projects. The scope of work would involve site preparation, utility connections, building construction, and final landscaping for new developments, all of which would be subject to these fees. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in new construction, from site clearing to final finishes, should monitor this review. Early engagement before final fee adoption and permit application could provide a competitive advantage.

6. Failure to comply with all conditions of approval or County, State, or Federal
This item concerns a special exception request for a property located in Highlands County. The applicant seeks permission to raise and keep up to two caged hens. This request is intended to resolve a current code enforcement issue and bring the property into compliance with county rules. The property is currently not in compliance because it had a single caged hen, but the applicant currently has no chickens. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment.

Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant or county planning department to understand potential needs as the review process moves forward.

6. Failure to comply with all conditions of approval or County, State, or Federal
The Board of Adjustment for Highlands County is reviewing a request for a special exception. The applicant seeks to keep up to two caged hens on their property. This request includes a reduced setback of 12 feet 10 inches from the side property line and 16 feet 2 inches from the rear property line for the chicken coop. The applicant is seeking this exception to resolve a current code enforcement issue related to having one hen and previously a rooster. The existing coop is a 4-foot by 6-foot shed-like structure located within current setback requirements. This item is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. The project involves addressing existing structures and potentially modifying them to meet new setback requirements. This could involve site preparation, minor construction, and landscaping services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process as it progresses, as early engagement before final permits are issued could offer a competitive advantage.
