Dawson County adopts amended development impact fee ordinance to take effect March 1, 2025
Summary
After a presentation by ROSS+associates, the Dawson County Board of Commissioners adopted an amended Development Impact Fee Ordinance with Alternate No. 6 Fee Schedule, to take effect March 1, 2025; the motion passed 4-0 following a second hearing with no public comment.
The Dawson County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 on Jan. 16 to adopt an amended Development Impact Fee Ordinance, selecting Alternate No. 6 of the proposed fee schedules and setting an effective date of March 1, 2025. The motion was recorded as Bruce/Stowers.
Paige Hatley of ROSS+associates presented a PowerPoint overview of the amendment at the board’s second public hearing on the ordinance. Chairman Billy Thurmond opened the hearing for public comment and, hearing none, the board moved to adopt the ordinance.
The change follows a first hearing on Dec. 19, 2024, and replaces the county’s existing impact-fee schedule with the board-selected Alternate No. 6. The amendment is described in the meeting record as intended to revise the county’s development impact fee structure; the minutes do not include a text excerpt of the new fees or itemized per-unit amounts.
The board did not record additional debate in the minutes. The ordinance is scheduled to take effect March 1, 2025; any administrative steps needed to implement the new schedule were not specified in the minutes.
