Build Up Local Communities Through Impact Fees
We see a community as much more than a place to live—it’s a place to work, grow, play and build. But today municipalities are facing more crippling, financial challenges than ever before. Aging infrastructure, development pressure, service level expectations, and reduced state and federal funding are just the tip of the iceberg. To help address these challenges, impact fees have become a popular way for local governments to help fund future, growth-related capital costs without burdening existing taxpayers.
As a leader in Wisconsin Impact Fees, our studies involve more than just setting a fee amount. We believe that how a municipality collects and uses impact fees is just as important as why.
Our impact fees often include:
- Public Facilities Needs Assessment
- Identification of service levels
- Pinpoint areas of deficiency versus new growth
- Development of Capital Improvement Plan
- Recognition of the impact on availability of affordable housing
- Public hearings or public notice
- Impact Fee Ordinances
Learn how Ruekert/Mielke and your community can work together to develop impact fees that improve local law enforcement, parks, libraries and more.
