Impact Fees On Your Lot Construction Tampa | All State Homes
Understanding Impact Fees for On Your Lot Construction in Tampa Bay
Impact fees are a significant and often underestimated cost in on-your-lot construction throughout the Tampa Bay region. As Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, All State Homes believes in full cost transparency — and that means making sure every client understands impact fees before they finalize their budget.
Impact fees are one-time charges assessed by counties and municipalities to fund public infrastructure improvements — roads, schools, parks, water and sewer capacity — that are needed to serve new construction. In Florida, these fees are assessed at the time of building permit issuance and must be paid before the permit is issued.
Impact fees vary significantly between counties. Hillsborough County has some of the highest impact fees in the Tampa Bay region, particularly for schools and transportation. Pasco County fees are generally somewhat lower, one reason why Pasco County on-your-lot construction can offer excellent total value. Pinellas, Hernando, and Manatee Counties each have their own fee schedules.
For a new single-family home in Hillsborough County, total impact fees can range from $10,000 to $25,000 or more depending on the home's square footage and location. These fees are separate from permit application fees and building permit fees.
All State Homes identifies estimated impact fees for your specific lot and county during the lot evaluation process, incorporating them into the overall project cost estimate. This way, you have a complete picture of your total investment before making any commitments.
Custom homes start from the low $200Ks before impact fees and permitting costs. This second-generation family-owned company has been navigating Tampa Bay's permitting and fee landscape for over 70 years.
