Impact analysis
Expect to pay a bit more for a brand-new home as developers pass these higher fees directly to buyers.
Current residents win because new growth will pay for itself instead of stretching existing city services and tax dollars.
Future homebuyers and local developers take the hit through higher housing prices and potentially slower building activity.
