How development impact fees work in Utah
Utah impact fees are governed by the Utah Impact Fees Act, which requires each jurisdiction to adopt an Impact Fee Facilities Plan (IFFP) and an Impact Fee Analysis (IFA). Categories commonly include transportation, parks, public safety, water, sewer, and storm drainage.
Utah does not levy school impact fees. Water and sewer are often provided by the city or by a separate district, each with its own connection-fee schedule.
