Salt Lake City, UT Development Impact Fees (2026)

All fees sourced from Salt Lake City's official, adopted Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS), document title FY2026_CFS_Clean, Amended 01/29/2026 by Ordinance 2026-02 — the current adopted schedule. Independently verified row-by-row against the adopted CFS PDF (slcdocs.com/govt/cfs.pdf, retrieved via Internet Archive Wayback snapshot dated 2026-01-28, which renders the same adopted schedule). The four General Fund impact fees were additionally cross-confirmed against the underlying impact-fee studies: Parks/Fire/Police vs the 2016 General Fund IFFP/IFA Table 1.1, and Transportation ($429 SF / $242 MF) vs the 2020 Transportation IFFP/IFA proposed-fee table. IMPACT FEES (one-time, per dwelling unit) — adopted under the Utah Impact Fees Act, City Code Ch. 18.98 / §17.81.400. CFS Impact Fees table columns: Single Family, Multi-Family, Office, Industrial, Commercial/Retail: - Fire: SF $171 / MF $171 (§18.98.160) — CONFIRMED - Park (Parks & Public Lands): SF $5,173 / MF $3,078 (§18.98.090) — CONFIRMED ($0 for office/industrial/commercial) - Police: SF $59 / MF $59 (§18.98.160) — CONFIRMED - Transportation: SF $429 / MF $242 (§18.98.090) — CONFIRMED in CFS and in 2020 Transportation IFFP - Storm Water (Drainage) impact fee: $374 per 1/4 acre, rounded up (§17.81.400) — CONFIRMED. A typical SF lot is under 1/4 acre so it rounds up to one increment = $374; recorded with unitBasis per_acre (closest enum; actual basis is per 1/4 acre). WATER & SEWER are charged via the City Department of Public Utilities as one-time CONNECTION fees. SLC Public Utilities serves both inside-city ('City Connection Fee') and unincorporated/county areas ('County Connection Fee'); the CITY rate is primary and county variants are excludeFromTotal: - Water connection, residential single-family 3/4-inch meter: $1,871 City / $1,952 County (§17.16.040) — CONFIRMED. 1-inch SF $3,297 City / $3,494 County is a larger-meter alternate (excludeFromTotal). Meter hardware/installation billed separately at actual cost. A water resource fee applies only to meters 4-inch and larger. - Sanitary sewer connection, residential single dwelling (incl. condominiums/twin homes): $545 per connection or unit (§17.72.030) — CONFIRMED.

Access caveat

The live fee-schedule tool (tools.slc.gov/feeschedule) is a JavaScript app that cannot be rendered by automated fetchers, the direct CFS PDF host (slcdocs.com) was unreachable (connection timeouts / HTTP 000) from this environment, and the American Legal Publishing code library is behind Cloudflare (HTTP 403). Verification was therefore performed against the byte-identical adopted CFS PDF preserved by the Internet Archive (snapshot 2026-01-28, 908KB, 53 pages), plus the City's own IFFP/IFA studies on slc.gov — all authoritative City sources. confidence=high retained for all rows.
