Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study VII. Law Enforcement Law enforcement impact fees are used to fund the capital construction and expansion of police service related land, facilities and capital equipment required to support the additional law enforcement service demand created by new growth. This section of the report presents the results of the law enforcement impact fee update study for Indian River County and will serve as the technical support document for the calculated law enforcement impact fee schedule. There are several major elements associated with the development of the law enforcement impact fee. These include: • Facility Inventory • Service Area and Population • Level-of-Service • Cost Component • Credit Component • Net Law Enforcement Impact Cost • Calculated Law Enforcement Impact Fee Schedule • Affordable Growth Strategy • Staff Recommended Fee Rate • Law Enforcement Impact Fee Schedule Comparison Facility Inventory According to information provided by the IRC Sheriff's Office (IRCSO) and the County, Indian River County has 68,000 square feet of building space and almost 13 acres of land associated with law enforcement services. Table VII-1 presents this information. Building value is estimated based on recent construction, insurance values of existing buildings, and information from other Florida jurisdictions. Land value is based on the value of parcels where existing buildings are located and an analysis of vacant land sales and values. Additional information is provided in Appendix F. It should be noted that, in addition to these buildings, IRCSO leases several buildings to accommodate substations and storage facilities.
