Homeowners in Holiday Park, a 836-home retirement community near Florida's Gulf Coast, were devastated by Hurricane Ian. Now they're facing another headache as they work to rebuild.

Holiday Park, a 55-and=older manufactured home park in North Port, was devastated by heavy wind from Hurricane Ian.

Those connection fees – essentially designed to pay for the impact of a new home on the city water and sewer system – when applied to existing lots temporarily disconnected from water and sewer may also run afoul of a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that essentially said a governmental entity couldn’t impose such fees “unless there is a ‘nexus’ and ‘rough proportionality’ between the government’s demands and the effects of the proposed use.

Arguably, just a impact fees are only assessed on new construction and not the sale of existing homes, the impact of Holiday Park and other home sites temporarily disconnected from city services has already been paid.North Port’s policy of charging homeowners a $55.95 a month “readiness to serve” fee to maintain connection to city water and sewer is one that is mirrored elsewhere.

Sarasota County bills the owner of the master meter who typically will then collect fees from individual users. The monthly readiness-to-serve charges are $15.86 for water, $19.41 for sewer, plus a $2.82 bill charge and a $1 wastewater quality fee.Or if the home is anticipated to be uninhabitable for a long period of time, Sarasota County Utilities would remove the meter for a .$25.00 service chargeFletcher points out that staff is still researching the origin of the policy in question.
