Where it applies

“With this current update of the PFE Fee Program, this Nexus Study applies the land uses and development areas in the 2050 General Plan. As a result, the PFE Fee Program is divided into two separate fee areas; see Appendix C for a map of the two fee areas in the City. PFE Area No. 1 includes undeveloped properties within the existing City and existing development areas such as Twelve Bridges, Village 7, the Lincoln Aircenter, Lincoln 270, as well as other developments that have either began development or are in the pipeline. These developments are in the City's existing PFE Fee Program area.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
