Correct, they cannot impose impact fees, but they have the square footage fees already in place. Seems that they could raise those. And I guess we all need to get behind Joe Carr and yell at our reps. It needs to be fixed.

Not sure living on the Sumner side is any different. The builders should be paying much higher impact fees.
They were raised in the city. The county should do the same.
