What is Request for Impact Fee Refund – Manatee County?
The Request for Impact Fee Refund is the Manatee County Government form on which a person, contractor or company asks the county to refund impact fees it paid, identifying the building permit, the amount requested and the reason for the request.
The form states the rule that governs it: requests for refunds are made in accordance with LDC 1105 and must be accompanied by a receipt, cancelled check, or other evidence of fees paid. Approved refunds are remitted to the payee of the impact fee payment, or to a successor-in-interest, and the form has a line for the address where the refund check is to be sent.
The form collects the date of the request, the permit number (printed with the prefix BLD-), the permit issuance date, the amount requested, and the petitioner's name, telephone number and e-mail address. It also asks whether the request is a Credit Authorization Request and, if so, for the Credit Authorization Number. A box at the bottom marked FOR STAFF USE, with account numbers, amounts, a total refund line and a Permit Notes Updated check, is completed by the county, not by the applicant.
The Manatee County Impact Fee Administration handles the form. It is a refund request for impact fees, not a property tax document.
Who needs to file Request for Impact Fee Refund – Manatee County?
The form is for the party that paid an impact fee to Manatee County and now wants it refunded. It lists the people involved: the petitioner who makes the request, the fee payer (a person, contractor or company), and, where one applies, a successor-in-interest.
- Fee payers. A person, contractor or company that paid impact fees on a permit and is requesting a refund lists itself as the fee payer.
- Successors-in-interest. If the right to the refund has passed to someone else, the form has a line for the successor-in-interest, and the county states that approved refunds go to the payee of the impact fee payment or to a successor-in-interest.
- Credit Authorization requests. The form asks whether the request is a Credit Authorization Request; if it is, the Credit Authorization Number is entered.
Anyone filing must be able to provide a receipt, cancelled check, or other evidence of fees paid. The form does not say who else may sign on the applicant's behalf; it has a single applicant signature block with a printed name. Questions about eligibility go to the Impact Fee Administration at [email protected].
When to file Request for Impact Fee Refund – Manatee County
File the request after the impact fees have been paid and you can show proof of payment, because the form must be accompanied by a receipt, cancelled check, or other evidence of fees paid. The form ties the request to a specific building permit (Permit No: BLD-) and its issuance date, so have both on hand. No separate due date is printed on the form; requests are made in accordance with LDC 1105, and the Manatee County Impact Fee Administration can answer timing questions at [email protected] or through www.mymanatee.org/impactfees.
Documents you need
- A receipt, cancelled check, or other evidence of fees paid: required to accompany every request, to show that the impact fee was paid.
