Verbena Parkway Mobility Fee Credit (Black Sound Development)
Summary
New development will now pay higher mobility fees phased in over four years to fund $549 million in roads, trails and transit hubs through 2045. State statute caps the increase at 50%, leaving a gap the county must cover with gas and sales taxes. Existing homeowners pay nothing unless they build an addition or ADU.

Impact analysis
New fees will bring in more revenue for roads, but still fall short of actual infrastructure costs, leaving the difference on gas and sales taxes.
Existing residents, whose roads get funded by new development rather than their taxes.
Developers and residents building new homes, ADUs, or additions — particularly in District 2 (Branan Field/OakLeaf), where Commissioner Compere says fees are disproportionately high.

The developer will build the Verbena Parkway connector in Lake Asbury and receive a $14.28M credit against future mobility fees — the county gets a road it couldn't afford, but critics worry about excess credits and developer conduct.
