The tower was built for $150 per square foot, which is also used in the impact fee calculations. Law Enforcement Law enforcement buildings tend to include a wide range of buildings, such as office buildings, crime scene buildings, maintenance sheds, etc. In addition, law enforcement facilities tend to include both prime buildings and support buildings, which tend to vary significantly in terms of building cost. Given this, it is difficult to have a comparable cost database from other jurisdictions since the combination of these different types of buildings vary from one jurisdiction to another. Therefore, the estimates used in the impact fee calculations relied primarily on local data. As presented in Table F-3, the County recently completed the conversion of a warehouse to a Crime Scene Investigation Center, at a cost of almost $200 per square foot. In addition, the estimates obtained from the Sheriff's Master Plan for a future Sheriff's Office Building and a new Crime Scene Unit Facility range from $250 to $300 per square foot. The insurance values of existing buildings average$165 per square foot and the value of support facilities is $65 per square foot. Finally, the available data from other Florida jurisdictions suggests a range of$175 to$270 per square foot for law enforcement facilities. Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
