Palm Beach County has undergone tremendous growth necessitating
road expansion and improvement to accommodate the increase in traff ic.
In order to finance the new capital improvements, it has been determined
by the Board of County Commissioners that any new land development
activity generating traffic in the County should be charged a "Fair
Share Feell.
BF-5.1 Procedure:
The Fair Share Fee shall be used exclusively within the zone in
which the development is located and shall be due on commencement of any
new land development activity generating traffic.
All funds collected shall be properly identified by zone. Within
10 days of the end of the month, the Department of Development & Insp-
ection should submit to the Finance Department a detailed listing, by
zone, of the individual collections, including date and amount. After
reconciling the figures, the funds will be transferred on a monthly
basis, to the Palm Beach County Comptroller's Office for deposit in the
appropriate trust fund. The collection agency will then retain two
percent (2%) of the total funds collected.
