Mobility Fees and Impact Fees

Mobility Fees

Mobility Fees are assessed on new development to fund transportation improvements attributable to growth. Clay County is divided into five mobility fee districts, and rates vary based on land use and location. Fee calculations are based on a Mobility Fee Study that evaluates available roadway capacity and anticipated traffic impacts.

School Impact Fees

School Impact Fees help offset the impact of residential growth on the Clay County school system and support the continued provision of adopted levels of service. These fees are assessed on residential development and are applied uniformly throughout the County.

County Comprehensive Impact Fees

Comprehensive Impact Fees fund facilities and services needed to support population growth. Depending on the type of development, fees may include funding for government facilities, fire and rescue services, law enforcement facilities, community parks, regional parks, libraries, and cultural facilities.

Fee Exemptions

Certain replacement homes may qualify for Mobility Fee and Impact Fee exemptions. Eligibility generally applies when an existing dwelling unit is removed and replaced without creating an additional dwelling unit.

• School Impact Fee exemptions may apply if the dwelling was listed on the tax roll after May 1, 2003.
• Mobility Fee exemptions may apply if the dwelling was listed on the tax roll after February 2, 2021.
• Comprehensive Impact fee exemptions generally require the dwelling to have appeared on the tax roll within the previous five years.
• The property owner must provide supporting documentation to establish eligibility.

Exemption requests should be submitted before applying for a replacement dwelling permit.

Affordable and Workforce Housing

Fee waivers may be available for qualifying Affordable Housing and Workforce Housing developments that meet applicable County ordinance requirements.
