🍊 THE WEEKLY SQUEEZE

July 9, 2024

🛣️ Stet News told you in March about the clash between cities and counties over road impact fees, a fee charged to developers for new construction. A compromise bill passed in early March. It became law June 27, when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the committee substitute for HB 479. Now, cities and counties must negotiate on how to spend the money, a decision that previously had been solely the county’s.
