FL H0207

Amends Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes (Florida Impact Fee Act), to establish minimum requirements for counties, municipalities, and special districts when adopting impact fees

Requires impact fee calculations to be based on the most recent and localized data, with revenues and expenditures tracked in separate accounting funds and administrative charges limited to actual costs

Mandates 90 days notice before imposing new or increased impact fees, though governments may decrease, suspend, or eliminate fees without waiting; payment cannot be required before building permit issuance

Requires impact fees to have a rational nexus with the need for capital facilities and the benefits to new construction; revenues must be earmarked for capital improvements benefiting new users

Places burden of proof on government to demonstrate compliance by preponderance of evidence when impact fees are challenged in court; exempts water and sewer connection fees from the Act
