P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 9018m
As part of the issue of a final determination, the Permit Management Office or the autonomous municipality with I to V granted hierarchy shall impose, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Permit Regulation or the Ordination Regulation, as may correspond, such fees on account of exaction impact that may apply to a project and direct that the applicant pay such fees in favor of the corresponding government entity concerned by using the means of payment set forth by regulation, by the Management Office, and under this chapter. Any projects that get a green design certification shall be exempted from the payment of impact fees. The exaction percentage applicable to such projects shall be that which is determined via the Joint Permit Regulation.
The Joint Permit Regulation shall provide that, in cases in which the improvements required from an applicant exceed the impact fee that applies to the project, the concerned government entity shall give the applicant a credit which may be applied to any other fee charged to him/her by the concerned government entity in connection with the project, except for charges on consumption. The said credit may also be: (a) transferred by the applicant onto other projects belonging to him/her, for which the payment of impact fees to the concerned government entity is required; (b) transferred to third parties who have projects in the area through such procedures as the regulation may establish. The Management Office shall impose a nominal fee on the concerned government entities for transacting the collection of the said charge.
