Hollywood, FL Accessory Structures: ADU Impact Fees (2026)

Florida authorizes local impact fees on new development under FL Statute §163.31801, the Florida Impact Fee Act. Broward County administers the county-level impact fee program that applies to new construction within municipalities including Hollywood. Fee categories typically include: Road Impact Fee (administered by Broward County), Educational Facilities Impact Fee (Broward County Public Schools), Park Impact Fee, and other county-administered fees. Rates vary by Benefit District and dwelling type; ADUs are usually charged at a reduced 'small accessory unit' or scaled-square-footage rate, but applicants should request a written estimate from the Broward County Impact Fee office before applying. The City of Hollywood charges its own building permit and plan-review fees through the Hollywood Building Division under the city's fee schedule, plus any city-administered park or capital fees as set by City Commission resolution. FL §163.31801(6) caps annual impact fee increases — increases above certain thresholds require a demonstrated-need study, and increases beyond 50% over a four-year period are restricted absent extraordinary circumstances. Hollywood practice: applicants must present a paid Broward County Impact Fee receipt before the city will issue the final building permit, and certificate of occupancy will not issue until all impact fees are paid.
