If your area is growing, one of two things is happening:
- The growth of infrastructure is paid for by development through the use of well-crafted and current Development Impact Fees, OR
- There are no well-crafted and current Development Imapct Fees in place, which means the growth of infrastructure is paid for by current residents.
If you are in the second group then you need well-crafted and current Development Imapct Fees as soon as possible.
In the past you would have had to pay a consultant to come in and calculate these Development Impacts for you. But with the GSS Development Impact Software you can calculate these impacts yourself.
Watch the brief video below to get an overview of the software:
There are Three Versions of the Software:
Basic Version
Designed for the small agency with uncomplicated needs. Capital Projects are entered as summary information and the calculations
are based on only one area which is normally the whole agency.
Standard Version
Designed for the typical agency. Includes all of the features of the "Lite" version plus Capital Project information
is entered in detail and the agency can compare calculated fees for new development with the capital paid by
existing development for the existing infrastructure.
Premium Version
Designed for the complicated agency. Includes all of the features of the "Standard" version plus the agency can be divided into
subareas and can itemize the existing infrastructure contributions by existing development.
