Carrboro New Homes Getting More Expensive
Impact Fees Increasing in Orange County in 2011
There are a multitude of different permits and fees required to build any new home. Orange County and Chapel Hill have long had some of the highest fees in the Triangle.
And they're going up.
These fee increases were approved in December 2008, with new increases taking affect each January.
Carrboro New Homes - Orange County School District Changes
School district impact fees in Orange County have been $3,000 per single family home since 2001.
On January 1, 2010, school district impact fees increased to $3749 per home.
On January 1 2011, these fees will be increasing again, as part of a yearly increase for each of three years.
Orange County Schools District impact fees will increase from $3749 to $4686 at the end of 2010, with an even more significant increase in 2012. This is an increase of 56% in the cost of this impact fee over two years time, for new single family homes, and again, these fees are separate from all other building permits and fees.
