Cheatham County commission amends impact fee; new rate to begin Nov. 1, 2025
Summary
The commission amended an impact fee at its Aug. 18 meeting to raise the amount discussed during debate; commissioners set the amended fee to $7,500 effective Nov. 1, 2025 and approved the change during the meeting.
The Cheatham County Commission voted on Aug. 18 to approve an amended impact‑fee resolution that sets a new fee of $7,500, effective Nov. 1, 2025.
Commission discussion began after the agenda was amended to include the impact‑fee resolution under new business. Commissioner Anderson moved to raise the impact fee; the motion was debated and amended during floor discussion to change the fee from a $5,000 baseline to $7,500 and to set an effective date of Nov. 1, 2025. The chair called for a vote on the original motion as amended; audio from the meeting records affirmative responses from commissioners and the clerk earlier recorded 11 members present and one absent.
Commissioners discussed the fee breakdown during debate; one explanation presented on the floor described portions of the proposed increase being allocated to a restricted line item and to roads, and another figure cited during discussion was a proposed allocation of $3,750 to a restricted line and $250 to roads (the remainder was discussed generically during the meeting). The motion was approved as amended on Aug. 18.
The commission also adjusted the agenda at the start of the meeting to add the impact‑fee resolution under new business; that change was approved by a motion and second and carried.
Ending: The commission approved the amended impact‑fee resolution; the resolution text in the official packet and the clerk’s minutes should be consulted for the formal ordinance/resolution number, precise allocation language and the recorded roll call vote by name.
