Workers widen Walnut Avenue in New Braunfels in 2013. The city is eyeing an increase in roadway impact fees that could go into effect in early 2023.soon might have to spend more as city officials eye increased roadway-impact fees. But the developers likely would pass the cost on to new homebuyers.
Impact fees are an assessment on new development that is meant to generate revenue that funds improvements necessitated by new development. The fees are based on a study that includes 10-year land-use assumptions and growth projections for the city. The study establishes a maximum assessable roadway impact fee that varies in different areas of the city.
New Braunfels is looking into increasing roadway-impact fees to 100 percent of the maximum assessable fees, meaning the city would be collecting the most it is allowed to collect. The city has been working toward increasing the roadway-impact fees for a couple of years now, but it previously planned a smaller increase. The city charges 50 percent of the maximum assessable roadway-impact fee for residential land uses and was planning to go up to 65 percent with a $6,000 cap. For nonresidential uses, the city had planned to go from 25 percent of the maximum to 50 percent.
