Town of Farragut Impact Fees

“We have been told with a straight face that this is not a tax. Anything that takes $3500 out of a citizens pocket and puts it into the hands of government, ladies and gentlemen that is a tax” Bob Markli, Markli Home Builders at the Town of Farragut Board of Alderman meeting regarding the implementation of an impact fee on new homes, churches, and businesses.

The Town of Farragut voted NO on implementing Impact Fees. A tremendous amount of thanks goes out to all the members that came out to voice their opposition and to the aldermen that voted NO.
