If adopted, an impact fee would be collected for <br />each new housing unit constructed in the county, including single -- <br />family homes, townhouses, two to four - family dwellings, apartments, <br />and mobile homes. Impact fees would not be collected from existing <br />housing units. <br />Under the proposed system, impact fees would vary between the <br />Chapel Hill- Carrboro and Orange County school districts. The amount <br />of variation would depend on the projected number of students per <br />household and the number, type, and cost of school facilities to be <br />constructed in each school district. Funds raised through impact <br />fees would pay only a portion of the total school capital costs, <br />and the level at which impact fees are set will be dependent upon <br />the amount of total capital costs financed from such fees. <br />
