Last year Raleigh raised the impact fee on newly built homes and businesses, taking the fee for a single-family home from 682 dollars to 1,170 dollars. Yet impact fees still pay for only 20 percent of new roads and parks projects required to support the new development, while the rest of Raleigh property taxpayers pay the other 80 percent. Do you think Raleigh should raise the impact fee on newly built homes and businesses closer to the statewide average of 4,038 dollars per single family home?
