Cheatham County Commission approves impact‑fee increase to $7,500, effective Nov. 1, 2025
Summary
The Cheatham County Commission on Aug. 18, 2025, amended a resolution to raise the school impact fee to $7,500, with the change effective Nov. 1, 2025; the recorded result was 11 yes, 0 no, 1 absent.
The Cheatham County Commission voted on Aug. 18, 2025, to amend and approve a resolution raising the county’s school impact fee to $7,500, to take effect Nov. 1, 2025.
During new business the chair introduced a resolution on the impact fee that had been discussed at a prior workshop. Commissioners debated the amendment on the floor, including timing and how the increased revenue would be allocated. One commissioner described a proposed breakdown "including $3,750 into a restricted line and $250 to roads," but the transcript did not clearly specify the full remainder allocation. Commissioners also discussed directing the increase into education debt for building or remodeling school facilities.
The commission voted on the original motion as amended; the clerk recorded the tally as 11 yes, 0 no, 1 absent and the motion carried. The amended motion was read to set the fee at $7,500 starting Nov. 1, 2025.
Separately, the commission also revised the composition language of a PSO committee to specify five commission members appointed by the chairman; that change was moved by Commissioner Lovell, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, and carried by voice vote.
The commission did not at this meeting adopt additional spending authorizations tied to the impact‑fee change; distribution details beyond the partial breakdown discussed were not finalized on the record.
