Impact Fees Polk County Florida

Effective August 01, 2010 Polk County Commissioners in an effort to spur construction and create jobs enacted a moratorium on Impact Fees. This effort will greatly decrease the cost factor on new construction in the county. To read up on this in depth follow directions below:
The information is located on web page www.polk-county.net – on the home page look for Most Popular – there will be two columns, click in column one Building/Construction when that page comes up there is a column on the left, select item Impact Fee Rate Schedule
This will give you the impact fees for residential and non residential, and the Ordinance explaining the moratorium.
What many don’t realize that is that your Realtor can assist you the process of working with the many fine builders that work in Polk County. Much like buying a pre-owned home there is no cost to you the buyer for their services. When you work with a Realtor they will share with you their knowledge and experience and can help you select the builder that best suits your needs and requirements. This way you’re not limited to any one builder. I might also add that there are many find building sites available for purchase. We have several vacant land sites in our inventory.
