Impact fees are one-time charges that cities, counties, and other local governments collect from developers to help pay for the new public infrastructure — like roads, parks, and water systems — that new development requires. This bill tightens the rules on how local governments plan for and spend those fees, requiring that impact fee plans specifically designate a defined service area for each fee and justify with planning or engineering principles why that geographic area is included, and further requiring that any money collected must be spent only on improvements within that same service area where it was collected.
