CENTRAL TEXAS WEAT PRESENTS
Adopt, Update, Audit: Navigating New Texas Impact Fee Requirements
Presented By:
Jessica Vassar, P.E., Freese and Nichols, Inc.
Impact fees are used by many municipalities to fund infrastructure, but recent legislative changes have reshaped how Texas utilities adopt, update, and defend impact fees. This presentation will unpack the changes and their effects, helping utility staff understand how to comply with the new requirements.
