What is an Impact Fee?
Development impact fees are one-time payments required for new development to fund capital infrastructure needed to serve growth. These fees are not taxes and may only be used for long-term capital improvements.
Impact fees may only be used for:
- Police facilities and vehicles
- Parks and recreation improvements
- Multimodal transportation improvements
Impact fees may not be used for operations, maintenance, replacement of existing infrastructure, or correcting existing deficiencies. (C.R.S. § 29-20-104.5)
When Do Impact Fees Apply?
Impact fees apply to:
- New construction (residential and nonresidential)
- Additions to existing nonresidential development
- An increased number of dwelling units
- Change of use to a more intensive development type
- Redevelopment
Fees must be paid prior to building permit issuance. No certificate of occupancy will be issued until all required impact fees are paid.
