Coverage & caveats
All fees are from the City of Goodyear's official "Development Impact Fee - Update/April 2024" schedule (effective April 1, 2024), retrieved via the city's Development Center fees page. This is the current adopted schedule; Arizona "System Development Fees" (ARS 9-463.05) do not auto-escalate and follow a 5-year study cycle (based on the 2019 DIF study, last updated April 2024). The Dec 2025 "2026 Four-Year Utility Rate Plan" adjusted ONGOING monthly water/wastewater/solid-waste service rates, NOT the one-time water/wastewater system development (capacity) fees, so the April 2024 SDF figures remain current.
Zones
Goodyear levies impact fees by two mutually-exclusive geographic service areas, North Zone (north of the Gila River) and South Zone (south of the Gila River). I used NORTH ZONE as the primary representative for single-family and multifamily; all SOUTH ZONE figures are included as additional rows with excludeFromTotal=true. The only category that differs between zones for residential is Parks (North SFD $1,360 vs South SFD $728) and the water/wastewater SDFs. WATER/WASTEWATER SDFs: Priced by water meter size. Used the base residential 3/4-inch displacement meter as primary (North Zone). The schedule's per-meter line has three additive components: "Cost per mtr" ($503, meter installation/connection cost — same in both zones), "Water Dev." (water development/capacity fee), and "Wastewater" (wastewater development/capacity fee). All three are additive and included for the North Zone 3/4" meter (Total $12,706). South Zone meter figures and larger meter sizes are included as excludeFromTotal=true variants. TRANSPORTATION/STREETS = $0 CITYWIDE: The current April 2024 schedule lists the Streets column as "$ -" (zero) for every land use in both North and South Zones — the city is not currently collecting a citywide street/transportation impact fee. The ONE exception is the separate "Northwest Rainbow Valley - South Service Area" schedule (effective April 13, 2020), a special geographic sub-area that DOES carry a Streets fee ($3,330/SFD) plus its own Police ($820) and Fire ($971) figures; I included the Rainbow Valley Streets SFD figure as an excludeFromTotal=true note row to document that transportation fees exist only in that sub-area. A builder OUTSIDE Rainbow Valley pays $0 in street impact fees.
Categories that do not exist here
NO school impact fee (school impact fees are not an authorized category in Arizona — school districts cannot levy them). NO standalone drainage/stormwater impact fee (the city declined a stormwater fee increase in the 2026 rate plan and funds stormwater from the general fund; no stormwater SDF in the impact fee schedule). NO library, open space, affordable housing, or general/capital impact fee in the schedule. NO mitigation fee found. Goodyear's residential impact fees are limited to Fire, Parks, Police (citywide) plus the zeroed Streets category, and the water/wastewater system development fees.
Caveats
ADU fees are not separately published in the impact fee schedule (ADUs would likely be treated under residential and metered separately). The .gov site is behind Akamai bot protection (403 to curl/WebFetch); figures were extracted from the official PDFs fetched and parsed with PDF.js inside a real authenticated browser session. VERIFY (2026-06-16, independent re-fetch): Both source PDFs were re-fetched live from goodyearaz.gov via an authenticated Chrome browser session (curl/WebFetch return 403 Akamai; Google Docs Viewer returned "no preview available" because Google's fetcher is also blocked). Bytes were retrieved by same-origin in-browser fetch (Source 0: 116,937 bytes, application/pdf, %PDF-1.6; Source 1: 78,895 bytes, %PDF-1.5) and parsed client-side with PDF.js. Confirmed 15 of 15 rows; dropped 0. Source 0 exact-text matches: header "Development Impact Fee Update/April 2024"; North Zone SFD row "$ 1,647.00 $ 1,360.00 $ 1,198.00 $ - $ 4,205.00"; North Zone MF "$ 1,022.00 $ 843.00 $ 743.00 $ - $ 2,608.00"; South Zone SFD Parks "$ 728.00" (MF Parks $452); North Zone "¾ inch displacement $503.00 $8,317.00 $3,886.00 $12,706.00"; South Zone "¾ inch displacement $503.00 $8,836.00 $5,918.00 $15,257.00". Source 1 exact-text match: header "Northwest Rainbow Valley - South Service Area, Effective April 13, 2020"; Streets "Residential Single Unit Dwelling Unit 87.81 $3,330" (also confirms Police $820, Fire $971 SFD-area). excludeFromTotal corrections: none required — all four South Zone variants (Parks $728, water $8,836, wastewater $5,918) and the Rainbow Valley streets $3,330 row are correctly flagged excludeFromTotal=true; the seven North Zone primary rows plus the $0 citywide streets row are correctly INCLUDED. Representative North-Zone SFD per-unit total = Fire 1,647 + Parks 1,360 + Police 1,198 + Streets 0 + Water 8,317 + Wastewater 3,886 + Meter cost 503 = $16,911 (= PDF DIF subtotal $4,205 + ¾" meter total $12,706); sane, no double-counting. Confidence unchanged: Source 0 rows "high" (live PDF exact match); Rainbow Valley streets row left at "medium" (older 2020 special-sub-area schedule, excluded from total).
Source 0 is the official City of Goodyear Development Impact Fee schedule effective April 1, 2024 (document title "Development Impact Fee Update/April 2024"). Source 1 is the Northwest Rainbow Valley special-area schedule (effective April 13, 2020). Per-dwelling-unit residential fees are NOT tiered by home size in Goodyear (single flat amount per unit), so no sq-ft tiering was needed. Water/wastewater SDFs are tiered only by meter size; base residential 3/4-inch used as primary. All figures independently re-verified 2026-06-16 against the live PDFs via in-browser PDF.js extraction.
