Fate Considering Increase in Impact Fees
Dallas BA is weighing in with the City of Fate regarding our concern about the significant increase in the town’s proposed impact fee updates.
Fate’s 2020 Capitol Improvements study proposes that impact fee rates for a single family home increase from $1,795 to $3,143 for water, increase from $2,708 to $6,542 for roadways, and decrease from $3,647 to $2,457 for wastewater. This would increase the total of impact fees per home from $8,150 to $12,142.
The Fate City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on their fee proposal during the Oct. 19 City Council meeting. Builders, who provide homes in Fate can offer comments for the hearing, reach out to the City Council or submit written comments to be included in the public record for the hearing to the City Secretary at vraduechel@cityoffate.com.
Dallas BA members can contact the Director of Government Affairs at the Association for further information.
