St. Johns County, FL to Consider Updating Impact Fee Schedules
The Commission will Hold This is the first of two required public hearings to implement an updated Impact Fee Schedule and changes to the County Impact Fee Ordinance. The proposed ordinance is based upon an Impact Fee Update Study prepared by consultant, Benesch, originally presented to the Board of County Commissioners on January 21, 2025. Subsequent meetings included discussions that led to board direction on changes. On September 16, 2025, the Board gave direction to update the Impact Fee Ordinance and Fee Schedule consistent with the "St. Johns County Impact Fee Update Study." As directed by the BOCC, the amendment to the ordinance provides, in part, a revised fee schedule, a phased implementation schedule, creation of a new conservation and open space impact fee, creation of a 50% waiver of impact fees for affordable housing under certain circumstances; and elimination of subsidizing of non-residential development.
