| Impact
Fees |
| City:
the
City
of
Port
Orange
requires
the
payment
of
water
and
sewer
impact
fees
for
non-residential
construction.
The
fees
are
determined
based
upon
the
number
of
plumbing
fixtures
for
a
particular
business
compared
to
that
used
by
a
typical
single-family
house.
A
Commercial
Utility
Service
Load
Worksheet
must
be
completed
in
order
to
determine
the
fees.

obtain
a

this

Department
of
Community
Development
at

| County:
Road
impact
fees
are
used
to
construct
new
roads
or
improve
existing
roadways
as
a
result
of
increased
demand
from
new
development.
Road
impact
fees
are
administered
by
Volusia
County
and
calculated
on
a
cost/square
foot
ratio
based
on
the
specific
type
of
development
proposed.
