TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES

In an ongoing effort to support our City's small businesses, Mayor Dyer and the Orlando City Council have waived the collection of change-in-use transportation impact fees for small businesses
(expires December 31, 2012).

This exemption reduces financial barriers for businesses seeking to expand or locate within the City and also encourages the development of vacant space, rather than new construction. In addition, exempting the fees allows the business to direct more of their funds to growing their business and creating jobs for our residents.

For questions and information regarding Transportation Impact Fee waivers and to determine whether or not your business is eligible, please contact Nancy Ottini at 407.246.3529 or nancy.jurus-ottini@cityoforlando.net.
 

Transportation Planning oversees the Orlando Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance (Chapter 56 of the City Code) and coordinates oversight with the Office of Permitting Services, which handles day-to-day collections and administration. Staff works to use the Ordinance as part of the broader goal of implementing the city's Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.

The Orlando City Council adopted the Ordinance in 1986. An amended Ordinance and updated Rate Sheet was adopted on Sept. 11, 2006. It ensures that new growth and development pays a share of the cost of new and/or expanded transportation facilities necessary to accommodate such development.

The objective of this coordinated effort is to assist the general public and the development community with all facets of the Ordinance. The goals of this program are to administer the Ordinance in a fair and equitable manner, to properly account for impact fees collected and expended in support of the program, and to ensure the funds are used to provide for the transportation needs created by new growth and development.

The following PDF files include copies of the current ordinance, the report detailing the reasoning behind the new fee structure, and the current Rate Schedule.
