YULEE — In an effort to boost the local economy, the Nassau County Commission Friday suspended the collection of impact fees for six months and reduced building permit fees by 50 percent for a year.

Both are effective July 1. The stay does not include impact fees collected for the Nassau County School District, County Coordinator Edward Sealover said.

“It is my belief that we are justified in doing that for a year’s time to hopefully stimulate some additional growth in the area,” County Commissioner Mike Boyle said about reducing permit fees.
