PUBLIC NOTICE OF PUBLIC WORKSHOP
TAMPA CITY COUNCIL

Two public workshops on a proposed increase to the Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee will be held by the City Council of the City of Tampa, Florida, on September 25, 2025, and October 30, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as practicable, in the City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, City Hall, 315 East Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa, Florida.

Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes, authorizes local governments to adopt impact fees to fund the infrastructure necessitated by new growth. The Legislature recognizes that impact fees are an outgrowth of the home rule power of a local government to provide certain services within its jurisdiction. The City of Tampa originally adopted a Transportation Impact Fee in 1986 and in 2015 updated its fee structure to a Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee to incorporate additional transit modes. The City of Tampa is considering an increase to its Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee. Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes, provides certain phase-in limitations that restrict a local government’s ability to increase the fee beyond certain thresholds. Pursuant to section 163.31801(6)(g), Florida Statutes, the City of Tampa may increase its fee over the threshold set out in section 163.31801(6)(d), Florida Statutes. In addition to other statutory requirements, the City of Tampa may increase its Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee above the threshold after holding two publicly noticed workshops to consider the extraordinary circumstances necessitating the need to exceed the statutory phase-in limitations. At the public workshops to be held on September 25, 2025, and October 30, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as practicable, in the City Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, City Hall, 315 East Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa, Florida, the City Council will consider whether these extraordinary circumstances exist.
