Coverage & caveats
All residential development impact fees and utility connection fees are taken from Eagle Mountain City's official adopted Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated March 3, 2026), Appendix A (Impact Fees) and Section 12 (Public Utility Connections). This is a current, authoritative source; confidence is high throughout. WHAT EXISTS (per dwelling unit / per ERU for single-family detached unless noted): Parks and Recreation ($3,690/household), Public Safety (police+fire combined, $42/DU), Transportation ($4,853 single-family house), Water ($4,283/ERU with water rights), Wastewater (city, varies by service area: North $622, South $4,665, West $4,665 per ERC), Storm Water (varies by service area: North $282, South $566, West $2,470 per ERU). Plus small Culinary Water Meter Connection Fee ($450, 3/4-inch SFR meter) and Sewer Connection Fee ($100 per ERU SFR). A Pressurized Irrigation Water Meter Connection Fee ($450 for 3/4-inch SFR) also applies where PI service is provided (included as additive; note that not every lot has PI). WHAT DOES NOT EXIST HERE: NO school impact fee (school impact fees are not authorized under Utah law; Eagle Mountain has none). NO library impact fee, NO open-space-only impact fee (parks/trails/open space are combined into the single Parks and Recreation impact fee), NO affordable-housing impact fee, NO general/capital catch-all impact fee, and NO standalone mitigation fee. Police and Fire are NOT broken out separately - they are combined into a single 'Public Safety' impact fee ($42/DU residential). SERVICE-AREA / VARIANT HANDLING: Wastewater and Storm Water impact fees, and the water-rights vs no-water-rights water fee, are charged by mutually exclusive category. I selected the WEST SERVICE AREA values as the primary representative rows for wastewater ($4,665) and storm water ($2,470) for internal consistency (West is the primary active growth area), and marked North and South service-area variants excludeFromTotal=true. For water, 'Development with Water Rights' ($4,283/ERU) is primary; 'without water rights' ($2,445/ERU) is excluded (those developments instead pay additional Central Utah Water Conservancy District take-down and capital prepayment fees that are not fixed-schedule amounts). SEPARATE DISTRICT (TIMPANOGOS SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT): For the North Service Area only, wastewater treatment is provided by the Timpanogos Special Service District (TSSD). Appendix A Section 3.1 lists a TSSD impact fee of $5,931 per ERU (effective 01/01/2025), collected by the city and remitted to TSSD. This is a separate-district fee that applies in addition to the city's North Service Area wastewater collection fee ($622) for North-area development; it is included as an excluded variant row (since West-area development does not pay it) with attribution in notes. CAVEATS: (1) Transportation impact fee for RESIDENTIAL is at full value ($4,853 single-family house). ORD-10-2025 (eff. 02/18/2025) partially suspends the transportation impact fee only for NON-residential uses (55% for buildings <=10,000 sf except restaurants; 75% for buildings >10,000 sf and restaurants). Residential is unaffected by the suspension. (2) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): per the city's moderate income housing plan, NO additional impact fees are charged for ADUs (an Accessory Dwelling Permit costs $230). (3) The city reserves the right under the Impact Fees Act to assess non-standard (adjusted) fees, and 'buy-in' charges may apply within developer-reimbursement-agreement boundaries in addition to base impact fees. (4) The sewer/water meter connection fees in Section 12 are administrative connection charges separate from the capacity impact fees in Appendix A; both apply.
Primary single-family-detached impact-fee total (West Service Area representative) sums: Parks $3,690 + Public Safety $42 + Transportation $4,853 + Water (with rights) $4,283 + Wastewater (West) $4,665 + Storm Water (West) $2,470 + Culinary Water Connection $450 + Sewer Connection $100 + PI Water Connection $450. Service-area variants (North/South wastewater & storm water), water-without-rights, and the TSSD North-area treatment fee are marked excludeFromTotal=true to avoid double counting.
