BRYAN COUNTY, Ga. () — Significant transformations could be headed for the northern region of Bryan County. With approval for over 3,000 new homes and plans for substantial commercial expansion, county officials are exploring new avenues to finance the burgeoning demand for roads and infrastructure.

As the county experiences unprecedented growth, faster than any other in the state, proactive measures are necessary to prevent potential challenges. This prompted Bryan County officials to convene this week to discuss implementing impact fees to support the area’s swift development.

Discussions on this topic have been ongoing for over a year. During this week’s meeting, county leaders considered the implementation of transportation impact fees, which would obligate developers to contribute financially to road enhancements and infrastructure in north Bryan County. With an influx of thousands of new residents anticipated, concerns about road strain are escalating. Officials view these fees as a strategy to ensure the costs of growth are self-sustaining.

These funds would support over $60 million in planned road upgrades. Currently, the county has relied on private agreements, TSPLOST funds, and state support. However, officials now say that won’t be enough going forward.

The proposed cost for these fees is nearly $3,000 for every new single-family home, and just over $6,000 per 1,000 square feet of commercial space. A final decision on the fees could come as early as October, following additional public hearings.

Impact Fees: What You Need to Know

  • Public hearings expected later this year; decision could come by October 2025
  • To manage rapid growth and fund millions in road improvements
  • Proposed Fee: $2,946 per home / $6,056 per 1,000 sq. ft. commercial

Bryan County has already implemented impact fees on the south end since 2019, and now leaders say it’s time to bring north Bryan up to speed.
