Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance and Service Areas

Transporation Impact Fee Ordinance
On May 13, the City Council approved the transportation impact fee ordinance. The ordinance will be effective July 1 and the applicable impact fee would be collected at time of building permit. 

Service Areas
As required by state law, the City has been subdivided into service areas that are each approximately six-miles in diameter. This resulted in 27 service areas across the corporate limits of Fort Worth.  Any transportation impact fees collected within a service area must be spent on impact fee eligible capital improvements within the same service area.
