City of Plymouth Increases Park Dedication Fees – $5,000 per each new residential unit

The City of Plymouth is trying to deal with the excalation in land prices by charging developers $5,000 for each new residential unit that gets built in the City to go towards paying for new parks.

Of course, this gets buried in the price of the homes sold, but the home buyer ultimately ends up paying for this.  Surveys have shown that Minnesotans, and particularly the residents of Plymouth, love their parks.  It’s not expected that this 20% increase in this fee will see much push back from developers or residents.
