Coverage & caveats
Two authoritative sources drive this record: (1) Draper City's official Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 25-52 (Oct 2025 version, hosted on draperutah.gov), for all CITY-levied impact and connection fees; and (2) the Jordan Basin Improvement District (JBID, formerly South Valley Sewer District) live Utility Fee Schedule, for the SEWER impact fee, since Draper does not provide its own sewer service. CATEGORIES FOUND (Draper City, per dwelling unit unless noted): Fire ($71 SFD / $75 MF), Parks & Recreation ($4,162 SFD detached, tiered down to $1,872 for 10+ unit MF), Police ($102 SFD / $75 MF), Transportation/roads ($1,152 SFD / $893 MF), Water System Facilities impact ($2,097 SFD / $1,606 all-other-housing) PLUS an additive Water System Hookup fee ($440 at 3/4"). Storm Water Facilities impact fee exists at $1,729/ERU but its COLLECTION IS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED (Ordinance 1480) — currently $0 to a builder. SEPARATE DISTRICT — SEWER: Sanitary sewer in Draper is the Jordan Basin Improvement District (JBID). Most of Draper is in Salt Lake County = JBID Service Area 1, SFD sewer impact fee $6,637.31 per unit (MF/all-other $4,845.24); this is the representative sewer fee a Draper builder pays. The Suncrest portion of Draper in Utah County is JBID Service Area 3 ($5,793.00/ERU, remitted to the Timpanogos Special Service District) — a mutually-exclusive alternative, marked excludeFromTotal. JBID also charges an additive lateral connection fee (e.g., 4" in asphalt $3,600) when it installs the lateral. WHAT DOES NOT EXIST HERE: NO SCHOOL IMPACT FEE — Utah law (Impact Fees Act) does not authorize school impact fees. NO library, NO open space, NO affordable housing, NO general/capital, and NO mitigation impact-fee line items on Draper's schedule. NO sewer impact fee levied by the CITY (it is JBID). NO pressurized/secondary irrigation impact fee on Draper's schedule. WATER PROVIDER CAVEAT: Part of Draper is served by the City of Draper water utility (fees above) and part by WaterPro, a separate water provider with its own connection/impact fees not captured here. NORMALIZATION: SFD detached is primary. Same-category alternatives (multifamily/attached tiers, JBID Service Area 3, suspended storm water, conditional sewer lateral) are marked excludeFromTotal=true so the SFD impact total is not over-counted. Representative active SFD impact-fee total (City Fire $71 + Parks $4,162 + Police $102 + Transportation $1,152 + Water impact $2,097 + JBID Service Area 1 sewer $6,637.31 = $14,221.31), PLUS additive connection/hookup fees (City water hookup $440; JBID lateral ~$3,600 if District-installed). Storm water impact fee is $0 while suspended. VERIFY: confirmed 18 of 18 rows; dropped 0. The Draper City PDF (Resolution 25-52) was downloaded and read directly with pdftotext -layout; all 13 City rows match verbatim (Fire SFD $71 line 238 / MF $75 line 239; Parks SFD $4,162 line 243 / SF-attached $3,024 line 244 / 10+ units $1,872 line 247; Police SFD $102 line 249 / MF $75 line 250; Transportation SFD $1,152 line 254 / MF $893 line 255; Water impact SFD $2,097 line 261 / all-other $1,606 line 262; Water hookup 3/4" $440 line 481, with 'Hookup fees are in addition to Water System Facilities Impact Fees' confirmed line 485; Storm Water $1,729 'Total Fee Per ERU' with '*** Collection Temporarily Suspended *** (Ord 1480)' confirmed). All 4 JBID sewer rows confirmed via the live jbidut.gov utility fee schedule (Service Area 1 SFD $6,637.31, SA1 all-other $4,845.24, Service Area 3 $5,793.00/ERU, lateral 4" in asphalt $3,600.00; headings 'Service Area No. 1', 'Single Family Detached', 'All Other Residential Units- Per Unit', 'Service Area No. 3' all present). Population 49,602 (2024) re-confirmed via secondary search after Census QuickFacts returned HTTP 403 (no fee row depends on it). excludeFromTotal corrections: none needed — all flags were already correct (10 SFD-representative rows kept in total: Fire $71, Parks $4,162, Police $102, Transportation $1,152, Water impact $2,097, Water hookup $440, JBID SA1 sewer $6,637.31; correctly excluded: all MF/attached tiers, JBID Service Area 3 as a mutually-exclusive geographic alternative, the suspended storm water fee, and the conditional sewer lateral). No double-counting detected; representative active SFD impact total $14,221.31 is sane. Minor note: the JBID 'formerly South Valley Sewer District' descriptor is not stated on the JBID page itself but is well-documented historically and does not affect any fee amount.
A representative new single-family detached home in Draper pays the following ADDITIVE impact fees: Draper City Fire $71 + Parks & Recreation $4,162 + Police $102 + Transportation $1,152 + Water System Facilities impact $2,097 = $7,584 in City impact fees, PLUS the Jordan Basin Improvement District (separate sewer district) Service Area 1 sewer impact fee of $6,637.31 = roughly $14,221 in total impact fees. On top of impact fees, additive connection fees apply: Draper City water hookup ~$440 (3/4" meter) and, where JBID installs the sewer lateral, a lateral fee of ~$3,600 (4" in asphalt). Draper's Storm Water Facilities impact fee ($1,729/ERU) is currently NOT collected (suspended by Ordinance 1480), so it adds $0 today. Utah does not allow school impact fees, so none applies. The Suncrest (Utah County) part of Draper uses JBID Service Area 3 ($5,793/ERU, remitted to TSSD) instead of the Service Area 1 sewer fee. Multifamily per-unit figures are lower and shown separately. Exact amounts vary with meter size, water provider (City of Draper vs WaterPro), and whether the builder or the District installs the sewer lateral.
