Overview

The South Bryan Transportation Impact Fee has been in effect since April 1, 2019.  The Transportation Impact Fee is collected for all new building construction projects located in unincorporated South Bryan County.  The boundaries are identified on the Impact Fee District Map.  You may also consult the County's GIS Map, which includes a South Bryan Transportation Impact Fee boundary layer.  The Transportation Impact Fees collected in South Bryan are used only for identified transportation impact fee projects located in this area and are calculated based on the adopted fee schedule.  Property owners/developers may apply for a Certification of Impact Fee and/or Certification of Impact Fee Schedule.  Once a certification is issued, it is valid for 180 days.  During this time, the transportation impact fees and transportation impact fee schedule subject to the certification remain in effect even if the County adopts a new impact fee schedule.  

For individuals constructing a single family residence or installing a manufactured home in South Bryan, the Impact Fee Submittal Sheet should be submitted with the residential building/manufactured home permit application if the owners are requesting the County determine if the property is exempt from Transportation Impact Fees due to a residential building/manufactured home being previously located on the site prior to April 1, 2019.
