Charges assessed for the impact that is created by new development on Hillsborough County parks, schools, and fire systems

This may also apply to new construction on a vacant property or new construction and remodeling of an existing structure if there will be an increase in useable area. Transportation/ROW impact fees have been replaced by a mobility fee.

Important notice

Mobility/Impact Fees are assessed prior to issuance of a building permit, or equivalent. The assessment will remain valid for the life of the permit.

If you allow your permit to expire, Mobility/Impact will be reassessed at the current rates and updated when the permit is reissued. These rates may be higher than those initially assessed. To guard against this potential scenario, please ensure your permit remains valid and active until your project is complete.

Mobility and park impact fees

On June 16, 2021, The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) restored changes to the County's mobility fee and impact fee ordinances originally approved on May 20, 2020.

All impact fee tools and information

We have a variety of tools and resources to help with impact fees.

Residential vs. non-residential

  • New residential development pays three impact fees, plus a mobility fee, because they utilize all of these services
  • Non-residential development, with the exception of Lodging Uses, pay only the fire impact fee and the mobility fee, because it does not directly impact schools or parks. Lodging Uses are subject to the Parks impact fee effective January 1, 2022.
