DEFINITION of 'Impact Fee'. A fee imposed on property developers by municipalities for the new infrastructure that must be built or increased due to new property development.
â Impact fees are assessed at the time the building permit is issued and must be paid prior to scheduling final inspections. However, they do not have to be paid in one lump sum. The payments can be spread over time, between when the permit was issued to the time construction is nearly complete.
