Impact Fee Fundamentals
3TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o One-time payment for growth-related infrastructure,
usually collected at the time buildings permits are
issued
o Can’t be used for operations, maintenance, or
replacement
o Not a tax but more like a contractual arrangement to
build infrastructure, with three requirements
o Need (system improvements, not project-level
improvements)
o Benefit
o Short range expenditures
o Geographic service areas and/or benefit districts
o Proportionate
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 3 of 13
Common Impact Fee Methods
4TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Cost Recovery (past)
o Oversized and unique facilities
o Funds typically used for debt service
o Incremental Expansion (present)
o Formula-based approach documents level of service with
both quantitative and qualitative measures
o Plan-Based (future)
o Common for utilities but can also be used for other public
facilities with non-impact fee funding
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 4 of 13
Impact Fees in South Carolina
5TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Impact fee revenue must be maintained in an interest
bearing account
o Monies must be spent within 3 years of scheduled date for
construction in the CIP
o Must publish an Annual Monitoring Report
o All maximum allowable fee changes require an updated
study
o Requires an analysis that estimates the effect of imposing
updated impact fees on affordable housing in the County
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 5 of 13
Evaluate Need for Credits
6TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Site specific
o Developer constructs a capital facility included in fee
calculations
o Debt service
o Avoid double payment due to existing or future bonds
o Dedicated revenues
o e.g., property tax, local option sales tax, gas tax
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 6 of 13
Why Impact Fees?
7TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Infrastructure capacity is essential to accommodate
new development
o New growth pays its equitable share
o Encourages disciplined capital improvement planning
o Earmarks money for capital improvements
o Promotes comprehensive planning and growth
management
o Helps ensure adequate public facilities
o Compared to negotiated agreements, streamlines
approval process with known costs (predictability)
o Anti-growth pressure can be eased
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 7 of 13
8TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Impact fees cover the entire cost of new facilities,
negating the need for higher taxes
o A “properly” designed fee may come close
o Credits
o How about the O&M costs?
o Impact fees should be based on planning standards,
without concern for deficiencies
o Nonresidential fees can be “adjusted” for economic
reasons
o All developers/builders hate impact fees
Myths and Misconceptions
ATTACHMENT #6 Page 8 of 13
9TischlerBise | www.tischlerbise.com
o Impact fees negatively affect low/moderate income
housing
o Credits for affordable housing can mitigate impact
o Fee not always passed-on in the price of the home; studies
have shown that fees are often absorbed by others in the
“food chain” depending on market conditions:
o Land owner
o Developer
o Homebuilder
o Homeowner
o Impact fee study includes affordability housing analysis
