I. Introduction
Highlands County is reviewing the potential to re-establish impact fees for new development. These fees would support infrastructure needs in areas including Fire Rescue & EMS, Law Enforcement, and Parks and Recreation. The county is currently preparing a technical study to calculate these fees, which were previously suspended in 2009. This review process is in its early stages, as the county is considering developing these fees again. The project involves analyzing data to determine fee amounts based on consumption, which will fund capital needs for new growth. This could lead to future work in site preparation, utility installation, and construction of various public facilities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage with the county early to understand the scope and timing of potential projects as plans develop.
