A Guide to Impact Fees and Housing Affordability is a comprehensive resource that explores the relationship between impact fees and housing affordability. The book discusses how municipalities and local governments use impact fees to fund infrastructure improvements, such as roads, schools, and utilities, required by new developments. Impact fees are typically charged to developers when they build new housing or commercial properties. The author explains how these fees, while necessary for funding public services and infrastructure, can also contribute to the rising costs of housing. The book examines the potential effects of high impact fees on the affordability of housing, especially for low- and middle-income families. It looks at the delicate balance that local governments must strike between funding necessary infrastructure and ensuring that housing remains affordable. The guide provides strategies for managing and reducing the impact of these fees on housing affordability. It also discusses various policy options that can help mitigate the negative effects of impact fees, such as fee waivers or reductions for affordable housing projects, and methods to make the fee structure more equitable.
