Impact & Mobility Fees

Mobility and Impact Fees serve as crucial instruments for the City, facilitating necessary enhancements to roads, utilities, and other public amenities to accommodate urban growth. These fees apply to new property development, expansion of existing developments, or intensification of current land use.

Various types of fees apply based on the nature of development or use. Below, we offer a breakdown of each fee. As you plan your project or consider occupying a new location, it's advisable to contact the City to ascertain the mobility and impact fees applicable to your situation.

Mobility Fees

Mobility fees are used to finance transit improvements, including roadway enhancements and bike/pedestrian infrastructure expansion. Fees are calculated using a formula that considers construction costs and anticipated vehicular traffic generated by a given use. These fees are assessed upon permit issuance. Additionally, your property may qualify for credits from prior use, potentially reducing your fee obligations.

For all development types, utilize the calculator below to estimate mobility fees or submit an application to the Planning Division for an official fee estimate. The table provided approximates the mobility fee typically associated with a dwelling.

Mobility Fee Calculator

The method for calculating a mobility fee in the City would be as follows: 

  1. Determine the mobility district in which the proposed project is located by referencing the map attached or go to http://map.kissimmee.org/flexviewer/index.html to search by property (ensure Mobility Districts are selected under the layers at the upper right corner of the map). For properties within more than one mobility district, the location of the property’s access point will determine which district applies. For properties with access points in two districts, the resulting fee will be determined at an even split between the two districts. 
  2. Within the Mobility Fee Calculator attached, find the use that most closely matches your proposed use. If you do not see a use on the list that matches, please get in touch with the Development Services Department at the number below so that staff can assist you in determining the appropriate classification. Note: Staff will refer to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, for uses not listed to find an appropriate use. 
  3. Once you find the appropriate use within the Calculator, enter the gross square footage for the use(s) of thecommercial. As most commercial rates are per 1,000 square feet, for a 10,500 square foot building, you would enter 10.500. For residential uses, enter the number of units. For multiple uses, more than one category may be used. Be sure to enter the correct square footage for each use rather than using the total building area for each category. Please contact the City for assistance determining if the improvements qualify as a mixed-use project. 
  4. Then, enter the mobility district obtained in Step 1. For multiple uses, enter this district under each category used. 
  5. Get the total fee. The mobility fee is split into three categories, which will fund roadway and multimodal (i.e., bike paths, transit) improvements that will be constructed within your mobility district and city-wide transportation improvements. 
  6. Use Steps 1-5 to determine credits that may be applied to the total fee due. Credits are provided for any previous uses located on the same property. Any credits would be subtracted from the total fee obtained in Step 5 to determine net mobility fees due. For credits based on an existing agreement, please get in touch with the City, as these agreements may need to be renegotiated.
