Water & sewer connection fees
| Fee (local term) | Basis | Amount | Source · effective |
|---|---|---|---|
Water connection (tap / SDC) Water Expansion (System Development) Fee - 3/4" meter (West Zone, West of Agua Fria) — VERIFIED CORRECTION: $6,318 is the Water Expansion WEST ZONE (West of Agua Fria) 3/4" value, NOT 'East of Agua Fria North of Bell Rd' as the researcher labeled it. Correct column mapping of the 3/4" row: 379=physical meter price | 936=Water Resources(Off-Project/CAP) | 453=Water Vistancia | 6,318=Water West-of-Agua-Fria | 3,038=Water East-of-Agua-Fria-N-of-Bell | 1,516=Water South. The strictly East-of-Agua-Fria (Service Area 3) 3/4" water value is $3,038. $6,318 retained as the representative (higher, West-zone) water-expansion fee; confidence downgraded to medium due to zone attribution. Leading $379 is the physical meter purchase price (Finance/Meter Services), not an impact fee. | per meter | $6,318 | City of Peoria, AZ - Development and Engineering Department Dec 15, 2024Medium |
Sewer connection (tap / SDC) Sewer (Wastewater) Expansion (System Development) Fee - 3/4" meter (East Zone, East of Agua Fria North of Beardsley) — CONFIRMED: $7,346 = Sewer Expansion EAST ZONE, East of Agua Fria North of Beardsley, 3/4" meter.

Other 3/4" sewer zones: Vistancia=$2,296, West of Agua Fria=$8,968, East-of-Agua-Fria S-of-Beardsley=$3,446. | per meter | $7,346 | City of Peoria, AZ - Development and Engineering Department Dec 15, 2024High |
Water connection (tap / SDC) Water Resources Development Fee (Off-Project / CAP Area only) - 3/4" meter — CONFIRMED & UPGRADED to high: $936 is unambiguously the Water Resources (Off-Project / CAP Area) column for a 3/4" meter. ADDITIVE fee charged ONLY in Off-Project (CAP Area, e.g. Vistancia) zones outside the Salt River Valley Reclamation Project, to acquire renewable water supplies. $0 in the on-project central core, so correctly excluded from the representative total; add if parcel is off-project. alternative · not added to total | per meter | $936 | City of Peoria, AZ - Development and Engineering Department Dec 15, 2024High |
Coverage & caveats
PEORIA, AZ (Maricopa County) — Development Impact Fees, authorized as System Development Fees under ARS 9-463.05. Figures verified against the City's OFFICIAL adopted Residential and Multi-Family/Hotel impact-fee schedules, EFFECTIVE December 15, 2024 (Ordinance 2024-14, adopted October 1, 2024), schedule rev. 02/10/2025, retrieved 2026-06-17. City PDFs are behind Cloudflare bot-protection (HTTP 403); content independently re-rendered via the r.jina.ai reader, which returned the genuine document titles ("Residential_Impact Fees_Effective12152024", "MultiFamily_Hotel_Impact Fees_Effective12152024") and full schedule text. The $2,667 Zone-2 single-family Parks figure is independently corroborated by the Peoria Times article ("max support ... rose from $1,515 in 2019 to $2,667"), which also confirms the five-zone structure, Vistancia, and service-area methodology. 7 adopted impact-fee program areas: Streets/Transportation, Parks (Neighborhood + Community combined), Fire, Police (Law), Water (expansion), Sewer/Wastewater (expansion), Water Resources. Due at building-permit issuance. PRIMARY single-family row uses representative Service Area 3 (East of Agua Fria, SR74-Happy Valley, Park Zone 2, Central Transportation Zone): Parks $2,667 + Law $1,034 + Fire $1,415 + Streets $7,417 = $12,533 published non-utility total. Police ($1,034) and Fire ($1,415) are FLAT citywide; Parks ($582-$2,667) and Streets (North $10,349 / Central $7,417 / South $0) VARY by area. Water/Sewer/Water-Resources priced by water METER SIZE (base 3/4") and zone. WHAT DOES NOT EXIST: NO school impact fee (Arizona school districts cannot levy impact fees). No drainage, library, open-space, affordable-housing, or general/capital impact fee. No Maricopa County residential impact fee on incorporated Peoria. VERIFY: confirmed 12 of 12 rows present in the official source; dropped 0. All dollar amounts verified verbatim in the City schedules. KEY CORRECTION (zone mislabel): the researcher's primary Water-expansion 3/4" value $6,318 was labeled "East of Agua Fria North of Bell Rd," but careful column-mapping of the 3/4" row (379 meter-fee | 936 WaterResources/Off-Project | 453 Water-Vistancia | 6,318 Water-WEST=West of Agua Fria | 3,038 Water-NORTH=East of Agua Fria N of Bell | 1,516 Water-SOUTH | 2,296 Sewer-Vistancia | 8,968 Sewer-WEST | 7,346 Sewer-EAST N of Beardsley | 3,446 Sewer-EAST S of Beardsley) shows $6,318 = WATER WEST ZONE (West of Agua Fria); the true East-of-Agua-Fria-N-of-Bell water value is $3,038. The water row's zone label/notes were corrected and its confidence downgraded to medium; the value $6,318 is itself a real, verified schedule fee and is retained as the representative (higher) water-expansion fee, noting the East-of-Agua-Fria alternative of $3,038. Sewer 3/4" $7,346 (East Zone, N of Beardsley) label is CORRECT and stays high. Water Resources $936 confirmed unambiguously in the Off-Project/CAP column — confidence UPGRADED from medium to high. excludeFromTotal corrections: NONE needed — all flags verified correct (water-resources additive/off-project, alternate Streets/Parks zone variants, $12,533 total reference, and multi-family meter-size variants all correctly excluded). Double-count check: included rows (Parks $2,667 + Law $1,034 + Fire $1,415 + Streets $7,417 + Water $6,318 + Sewer $7,346 = $26,197 representative all-in SFD) contain no overlap; the $12,533 published total is excluded because its components are counted individually. CAVEAT: zone-column attribution within the multi-zone water/sewer grid is inferred from header column order and cross-checked against the 1" row and the MF schedule's identical-but-properly-scaled sewer columns (which fixed an apparent SF-schedule sewer typo where the SF 1" sewer columns were duplicated from the 3/4" row).
All impact fees effective 2024-12-15 per Ordinance 2024-14 (adopted 2024-10-01); schedule revision 02/10/2025. Per ARS 9-463.05 these System Development Fees do not auto-escalate (set on a study cycle). Residential fees per dwelling/housing unit; water & sewer expansion fees per water meter (base residential 3/4"). Representative primary = Service Area 3 (Central, East of Agua Fria) for non-utility fees. NOTE: the included Water-expansion fee ($6,318) is the West Zone (West of Agua Fria) 3/4" value; the strictly East-of-Agua-Fria-N-of-Bell 3/4" water value is $3,038. Amounts in current US dollars.
