Consistent with the posting requirement set forth in Section 125.66(3)(a), F.S., the County hereby publishes the following BIE information for this proposed ordinance on its website for public viewing and consideration on this 20th day of June, 2025.
1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals and welfare):
A transportation impact fee is a one-time capital charge levied against new development to provide a source of funding to Marion County to provide new transportation facilities necessary to accommodate the new traffic on public roads attributable to new development. Transportation impact fees can provide a significant source of funding for the County’s future capital transportation projects to minimize the financial impact on existing residents caused by new traffic-generating development. The County’s population is projected to increase by 107,000 persons by 2050 and providing adequate funding for needed capital facilities is necessary to maintain the quality of life expected by Marion County residents. The County last established transportation impact fee rates in 2015, but the rates that were then adopted were significantly lower than the rates supported by the technical study at that time. After the Covid pandemic, Marion County has experienced accelerated population growth with the result that available revenues for construction of new transportation facilities have not kept pace with that growth. Further aggravating that phenomenon has been the major increases in the cost of planning, designing, permitting, and constructing new transportation facilities.
Although the Florida Impact Fee Act, Section 163.31801(6) contains a presumptive schedule of caps on annual impact fee increases, this proposed ordinance amends the Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance to establish fees for a brand-new category of land use. These are high traffic generation uses.
There is a rational nexus between future growth, as measured by new construction, and the need to provide new transportation facilities to maintain traffic levels of service in Marion County. Requiring new growth to pay for its transportation-related impacts is in the best interests of the public and enhances the quality of life for Marion County residents.
Pursuant to the Notice provisions of the ordinance in Section 24, the new impact fees will not take effect before October 1, 2025.
2. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in unincorporated Marion County, if any:
Upon adoption of the ordinance and after the effective date of the new impact fee rates any businesses that plan to engage in new development in the County (i.e. build a new structure, expand an existing structure etc.) within the County will be subject to the following impact fee rates:
|
ITE |
Land Use |
Unit |
Transportation Impact Fee |
|
|
SERVICES: |
|
|
|
934 |
Fast Food Restaurant w/Drive-Thru |

(a) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur; and (b) Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be financially responsible; There are no direct compliance costs, but all Impact Generating Land Development Activity (land development that results in a greater impact on the County’s major roadway network system) occurring in Marion County will pay the Transportation Impact Fees are the rates listed above as a condition of obtaining a certificate of occupancy, electrical permit, or other similar authorization.
(c) An estimate of Marion County regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs. There are no regulatory costs, but Marion County will incur expenses for the property administration of this ordinance at an annual estimated cost of less than $75,000.
3. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinance: Indeterminate. It is anticipated that the primary businesses directly impacted by the transportation impact fees, in terms of paying the fees, are general contractors. However, there are both local and large corporate contractors operating in Marion County. On the other side of the equation, the ordinance will provide additional funding for transportation projects in Marion County and engineers, planners, and road builders will financially benefit from those new projects.
4. Additional information the governing body deems useful (if any): The ordinance provides for impact fee credits and other provisions to ameliorate the effects of the fees in specific circumstances.

Consistent with the posting requirement set forth in Section 125.66(3)(a), F.S., the County hereby publishes the following BIE information for this proposed ordinance on its website for public viewing and consideration on this 18th day of August 2025: (Date being published)
1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals, and welfare): AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MARION COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (LDC) RELATED TO SECTION 6.13.4 STORMWATER QUANTITY CRITERIA TO UPDATE THE DESIGN STORMS, DISCHARGE CONDITIONS, AND RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS.
2. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in unincorporated Marion County, if any:
(a) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur; The impacts for compliance cost for developing within an open basin with a 100-year design storm requirement as opposed to the previous 25-year requirement may yield approximately a 25% larger stormwater management facility in terms of footprint. The recovery criteria have been revised which may result in a decrease in the necessary footprint. Approximately 15% of the Marion County land area is located within an open basin, therefore the exposure to this design storm requirement is limited. The revised design storm criteria have a positive impact to the FEMA Community Rating System score which provides discounts to National Flood Insurance Program policy rates.
(b) Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be financially responsible; There are no new fees imposed.
(c) An estimate of Marion County regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs. There are no regulatory costs and no revenues will be generated for Marion County.
3. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinance: Indeterminate.
4. Additional information the governing body deems useful (if any): The proposed ordinance would require both 25-year and 100-year design storm peak discharge rate and discharge volume calculations for both open and closed basins. Because of the consideration for both open and closed basins, the FEMA Community Rating System limited the County’s credit for Design Storm to the 25-year Peak Discharge Rate only. Because the 25-year discharge volume was not required in closed basins, no CRS credit was given for 25-year volume. Because open basins only required the 25-year Peak Discharge Rate, no CRS credit was given for the 100-year Peak Discharge Rate. The proposed changes would give credit for both 25-year and 100-year Peak Discharge and Volume. The recovery criteria for open basins have been revised such that the storage volume available in the stormwater management facility only needs to be available to attenuate the peak discharge rate 72 hours following the design rainfall event instead of retention of the post minus pre runoff within 14 days. The change should result in less storage volume being required while still providing adequate stormwater management measures.

Design considerations would also be required to be given for flow velocity for all stormwater conveyance systems. The updates to easement width and pipe size requirements would result in decreased amounts of waiver requests for developments in review. According to the fee schedule on file at the Office of the County Engineer as of the time of this publication, the cost for a waiver associated with a development item in review is $100.

Consistent with the posting requirement set forth in Section 125.66(3)(a), F.S., the County hereby publishes the following BIE information for this proposed ordinance on its website for public viewing and consideration on this 13th day of May, 2025.
1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals and welfare):
Marion County operates both a fire protection system and an EMS system that together deliver consolidated fire protection and EMS rescue services through cross-trained personnel and some dual-use equipment and capital facilities that together comprise the county’s fire rescue system – Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR). MCFR provides these services across a geographic area over 1,500 square miles, larger than the state of Rhode Island. This Ordinance establishes the legislative framework for new Fire Rescue Impact Fees in Marion County, consistent with recent state legislative changes to the Florida Impact Fee Act, Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes, with impact fees based on a Technical Study entitled “Marion County Fire Rescue & EMS Impact Fee Study” dated February 28, 2025, prepared by Benesch, which utilized the most recent and localized data relevant to the Fire Rescue System available within the last four years, including the cost of land and construction costs.
There is a rational nexus between future growth, as measured by new construction, and the need to expand the Fire Rescue System through the acquisition and construction of new buildings, apparatus, equipment, and other infrastructure in order to maintain the standards of service currently provided by the Fire Rescue System. Having new growth pay for its Fire Rescue and EMS needs is in the best interests of the public and strengthens public safety within the community.
NOTE: The impact fee rates in the ordinance as presented represent the amounts supported by the Technical Study. If the Board of County Commissioners adopts the ordinance, it may do so with the full recommended fees, or at a reduced rate, based on public input, funding needs and other policy factors.
Section 3 of the Ordinance provides for Notice when the new fees will become effective.
2. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in unincorporated Marion County, if any:
Upon adoption of the ordinance and after the effective date of the new impact fee rates any businesses that plan to engage in new development in the County (i.e. build a new structure, expand an existing structure etc.) within the County will be subject to the following impact fee rates:

Consistent with the posting requirement set forth in Section 125.66(3)(a), F.S., the County hereby publishes the following BIE information for this proposed ordinance on its website for public viewing and consideration on this 13th day of May, 2025.
1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals and welfare):
A transportation impact fee is a one-time capital charge levied against new development to provide a source of funding to Marion County to provide new transportation facilities necessary to accommodate the new traffic on public roads attributable to new development. Transportation impact fees can provide a significant source of funding for the County’s future capital transportation projects to minimize the financial impact on existing residents caused by new traffic-generating development. The County’s population is projected to increase by 107,000 persons by 2050 and providing adequate funding for needed capital facilities is necessary to maintain the quality of life expected by Marion County residents. The County last established transportation impact fee rates in 2015, but the rates that were then adopted were significantly lower than the rates supported by the technical study at that time. After the Covid pandemic, Marion County has experienced accelerated population growth with the result that available revenues for construction of new transportation facilities have not kept pace with that growth. Further aggravating that phenomenon has been the major increases in the cost of planning, designing, permitting, and constructing new transportation facilities.
Although the Florida Impact Fee Act, Section 163.31801(6) contains a presumptive schedule of caps on annual impact fee increases, the Act allows for those caps to be increased upon a determination by the Board of County Commissioners that extraordinary circumstances exist to exceed those caps. If adopted by the Board, this ordinance contains a finding that as a result of the artificially low transportation impact fees that have been in effect in Marion County for the last ten years, it will not be possible for the County to make up for the current funding deficit without exceeding the caps, with the rates provided by the ordinance. At the May 23, 2025 public hearing, the Board will be presented with a schedule of transportation impact fee rates at the full amount concluded by the Marion County Transportation Impact Fee Update Study by Benesch, dated February 28, 2025, the Board will then make a determination of the final fee rates to be adopted based on public input, budget demands, and other policy considerations. The ordinance provides for impact fee credits, and other provisions that may ameliorate the effect of some of the fees.
There is a rational nexus between future growth, as measured by new construction, and the need to provide new transportation facilities to maintain traffic levels of service in Marion County. Requiring new growth to pay for its transportation-related impacts is in the best interests of the public and enhances the quality of life for Marion County residents.
Pursuant to the Notice provisions of the ordinance in Section 24, the new impact fees will not take effect before October 1, 2025.
2. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in unincorporated Marion County, if any:
Upon adoption of the ordinance and after the effective date of the new impact fee rates any businesses that plan to engage in new development in the County (i.e. build a new structure, expand an existing structure etc.) within the County will be subject to the following impact fee rates:

(a) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur; and (b) Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be financially responsible;
There are no direct compliance costs, but all Impact Generating Land Development Activity (land development that results in a greater impact on the County’s major roadway network system) occurring in Marion County will pay the Transportation Impact Fees are the rates listed above as a condition of obtaining a certificate of occupancy, electrical permit, or other similar authorization.
(c) An estimate of Marion County regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs.
There are no regulatory costs, but Marion County will incur expenses for the property administration of this ordinance at an annual estimated cost of $75,000.
3. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinance:
Indeterminate. It is anticipated that the primary businesses directly impacted by the transportation impact fees, in terms of paying the fees, are general contractors. However, there are both local and large corporate contractors operating in Marion County. On the other side of the equation, the ordinance will provide additional funding for transportation projects in Marion County and engineers, planners, and road builders will financially benefit from those new projects.
4. Additional information the governing body deems useful (if any):
The ordinance provides for impact fee credits and other provisions to ameliorate the effects of the fees in specific circumstances.
