Developer-focused webinars to discuss Street Impact Fee implementation

The Austin Transportation Department wants to make you aware of two workshops planned later this month, ahead of the implementation of Austin’s Street Impact Fee (SIF). The fee, which will begin collection on June 22, 2022, will be required for most new development in the city.

Austin City Council adopted the Street Impact Fee in December 2020 to fund transportation infrastructure improvements in 17 defined Service Areas. The amount of the fee will vary based on the type of zoning and the amount of increased development intensity.

Please join us for one of the webinars, held via Zoom, which will vary based on the type of developer.
