Impact fees get returned to property owners
The Belgium Village Board on Monday approved returning nearly $13,000 of water impact fees to property owners since they were not used by the Jan. 1 deadline.
“Impact fees have to be used or returned within eight years of when (they are) collected,” Village Treasurer Vickie Boehnlein said.
“We have limited projects that we can use these funds on. We have one project scheduled but it won’t be done soon enough.”
That leaves about $60,000 in impact fees left for the village to use.
The board, Boehnlein said, talked about accelerating the timeline on some projects so it doesn’t have to return more money.
The deadlines to use the rest of the water impact fee money range from Feb. 7, 2025, to Aug. 20, 2027.
The board has three projects left to do — oversizing water mains on Highway LL from Farmview Drive to 300 feet north of First Street for $16,500; and putting in future water mains, including the Lakeview Drive extension from south and west to LL and Farmview for $21,000 and on Highway LL south of Farmview to the dead-end south for $24,300.
