Impact Fees

Impact Fees are one-time charges imposed on developers and home builders to fund infrastructure costs associated with the 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. Fees are collected when a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Please email bldginfo@northportfl.gov to have your Impact Fees invoiced once you have scheduled your final inspections.

City of North Port fees are in Chapter 58 of the City Code and Sarasota County fees 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 is available here(PDF, 50KB).
