Transportation Impact Fees

On May 13, 2008, Fort Worth City Council adopted a transportation impact fee ordinance that was effective on July 1, 2008.

As the City finalizes plans to integrate the transportation impact fee into the development process, additional documentation will be developed to assist the community in becoming more knowledgeable about the ordinance.

Transportation impact fees are charges assessed by local governments on new development projects and will help fund transportation improvements that will be needed as development occurs in Fort Worth.
