Coverage & caveats
FOUND (all official/current): Herriman City Master Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2026 (herriman.gov) provides Transportation impact fee ($2,707.47/SFD unit, with full ITE land-use table), Fire ($549.16/unit), Police ($201.13/unit), Parks/Trails/Recreation ($3,550.64 SFD; $3,151.19 MF/unit), Storm Drain (per acre: $2,610.84 Main Herriman / $4,088.17 Towne Center), Water impact/capacity fee (lot-size tiered, $5,274 for typical SFD <0.24ac up to $9,585 for 1ac; $1,959 townhome), and a separate physical Water meter Connection fee ($1,585 for 3/4\"). SEWER is provided by a SEPARATE district, the Jordan Basin Improvement District (JBID, formerly South Valley Sewer District, renamed 6/12/2024); Herriman sits in JBID Service Area 1 (Salt Lake County); 2026 sewer impact/connection fee is $3,270/SFD unit and $2,387/other-residential unit, adopted via Resolution 11-25-2025-04 and listed in JBID's 2026 budget. DOES NOT EXIST: No SCHOOL impact fee — school impact fees are not authorized under Utah law (Utah Impact Fees Act enumerated facilities do not include schools; Jordan/Canyons school districts cannot levy impact fees). No standalone library, open-space, affordable-housing, general/capital, or mitigation impact fees in Herriman. CAVEATS: (1) Storm drain fee is per ACRE not per dwelling unit, so it is not normalized into the per-unit total but does apply. (2) Water has TWO distinct one-time charges that are additive: the capacity/impact fee (tiered by lot size, includes indoor culinary + outdoor secondary components) AND the physical meter Connection fee — both included as separate rows. (3) Water impact fee is tiered by lot size; the <0.24-acre tier is used as the representative SFD primary, larger-lot tiers carry excludeFromTotal=true. (4) JBID sewer fee is a separate-district fee attributable to a Herriman builder; the document also calls impact fees 'connection fees.' (5) The Master Fee Schedule's building permit and plan-review fees are valuation-based service fees, not impact fees, and were intentionally omitted. (6) Secondary irrigation water in some areas is provided differently by zone; the standard residential culinary+secondary impact fee was used. All amounts quoted verbatim from official sources; confidence high.
Herriman residential builder one-time impact/connection fees for a representative ~2,000-2,500 sq ft single-family detached home on a small lot (<0.24 acre), as of the July 1, 2026 Master Fee Schedule and JBID 2026 rates.

Separate-district sewer (Jordan Basin Improvement District, Service Area 1) impact/connection fee $3,270.00. Storm drain impact fee is assessed PER ACRE ($2,610.84/ac Main Herriman), not per unit, so it is left out of a per-unit total but applies to the development. NOT included in the per-unit total are the excludeFromTotal rows (alternative land uses, lot-size/meter variants, geographic variants). Approximate per-SFD-unit city + sewer impact/connection total ≈ $17,137 (Transportation $2,707.47 + Parks $3,550.64 + Fire $549.16 + Police $201.13 + Water impact $5,274.00 + Water meter connection $1,585.00 + Sewer impact $3,270.00), excluding the per-acre storm drain fee and excluding standard building permit/plan-review fees.
