Development Fee Basics
•
One-time payment for growth-related infrastructure
•
Collected when building permit issued
•
Can’t fund operations, maintenance, or replacement
•
Not a tax, but a contractual arrangement to build 
infrastructure with three requirements:
•
Need for infrastructure (system-level improvements, not project-level improvements)
•
Benefit to fee payer (service areas, accounting and expenditure controls)
•
Proportionate to demand
• Level of Service (LOS)
•
May not exceed what is provided to existing development
•
Higher LOS must be paired with non-development fee funding source to cover existing 
development’s share

Fee Methodologies
TischlerBise  |  www.tischlerbise.com
•
Cost Recovery Approach (Past)
•
Future development is “buying in” to the cost the community has already 
incurred to provide growth-related capacity
•
Common in communities approaching buildout
•
Incremental Expansion Approach (Present)
•
Formula-based approach based on existing levels of service
•
Fee is based on the current cost to replicate existing levels of service 
(i.e., replacement cost)
•
Plan-Based Approach (Future)
•
Usually reflects an adopted CIP or master plan
•
Growth-related costs are more refined

•
Debt Service
•
Avoid double payment due to existing or future bonds
•
Dedicated Revenues

Property tax, local option sales tax, gas tax, etc.
