Impact Fees

Impact Fees are one-time charges imposed on developers and home builders to help fund the cost of new infrastructure needed to support new development. These fees ensure that new development pays its fair share of the costs associated with its impact on the city's public services and infrastructure. Impact fees are collected when a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Please email bldginfo@northportfl.gov to receive final fees once you have scheduled your final inspections.

City of North Port fees are in Chapter 58 of the City Code. The Sarasota County fees that North Port developments pay are listed below, and their rates are in Chapter 70 of the County Code.  Rate changes are official when the respective jurisdiction codifies new fees in its Code of Ordinances. The only fee that doesn't follow the current code is Sarasota County's Road Fee. These rates are governed by an interlocal agreement between the County and City, and a list of rates can be found here(PDF, 50KB)
