St. George, UT residential development fees.

Primary source

City of St. George official "St. George City Impact Fees (Effective 4/21/21)" schedule PDF (hosted on the city's CMS at cms3.revize.com/revize/stgeorge), enacted by Impact Fee Ordinance 2021-01-005 (adopted 1/21/21; confirmed on the city's Impact Fees department page). As of 2026-06-17 this remains the most recent ADOPTED/published impact fee schedule; the city's department page lists ordinances 2020-12-001 and 2021-01-005, with IFA/IFFP documents for Water, Storm Drain, Wastewater, Fire/EMS, Police, Parks, Transportation and Power. A city-wide IFFP/IFA update is underway but no superseding schedule has been published, so the 4/21/21 figures are treated as current. CITY-LEVIED IMPACT FEES (per dwelling unit, single-family primary): Parks (SF $4,525 / MF $3,420), Transportation (SF $2,188 / MF $1,225 / Mobile Home $1,006), Residential Police (SF $95 / MF $243), Residential Fire/EMS (SF $320 / MF $657), Residential Drainage/Storm Drain (SF $781 / MF $502). St. George operates municipal POWER, so a residential Electrical (Power) Impact Fee applies and is ADDITIVE: single-family single-phase 120/240V 100 AMP $3,893 (representative), 200 AMP $4,809 (alt tier, excluded), plus Power Meter Fee Underground $370. CITY WATER & SEWER (priced by meter size; base residential 0.8" meter = 3/4" service equivalent): Culinary Water Impact Fee 0.8" = $1,996 (1.0" $4,311 excluded). Local & Regional Wastewater Impact Fee 0.8" = $1,516 ($137 local + $1,379 regional; 1.0" $3,274 excluded). Culinary Water Connection Fee 0.8" = $223 if water on lot (representative), $1,207 if not on lot (excluded, mutually exclusive). SEPARATE DISTRICT FEE (additive): Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD) Regional Water Impact Fee = $17,266 per ERC for a 3/4"/5/8" residential meter, confirmed verbatim on the WCWCD Impact Fees page. Paid IN ADDITION to the city culinary water impact fee. WCWCD offers a reduced fee under Ultra Water Efficiency Standards (UWES) but the discounted amount is not published (quote only) — omitted.

Categories that do not exist here

No SCHOOL impact fees (not authorized under the Utah Impact Fees Act; schools funded via property tax). No Library, Open Space, Affordable Housing, or General/Capital impact fee. Building permit / plan-review fees (1997 UBC valuation table) exist on the PDF but are NOT impact/capacity fees and are omitted.

Caveat

Water/sewer/connection fees are tiered by meter size; the 0.8" meter is the smallest published tier, used as the representative single-family base. Larger meter tiers and the 200 AMP power tier are mutually exclusive and excluded from total. Representative single-family additive total (non-excluded rows): Parks $4,525 + Transportation $2,188 + Police $95 + Fire/EMS $320 + Drainage $781 + Culinary Water Impact $1,996 + Water Connection (on-lot) $223 + Wastewater $1,516 + Power 100 AMP $3,893 + Power Meter Underground $370 + WCWCD $17,266 = $33,173. No double-counting; all counted rows are distinct categories.

Verify

confirmed 21 of 21 rows; dropped 0. Every city figure matches the official 4/21/21 schedule PDF verbatim (effective date confirmed on both the PDF title and the city department page); WCWCD $17,266 confirmed verbatim on the district page. excludeFromTotal corrections: none needed — all mutually-exclusive variants (MF, larger meters, 1.0" water/sewer, 200 AMP power, water-not-on-lot, mobile home) were already correctly flagged.

Confidence correction

WCWCD row downgraded high->medium because the district page does NOT publish a specific effective date or resolution number; the claimed "2025-12-01 / Dec 2025 resolution" effectiveDate was unconfirmable, so the WCWCD effectiveDate has been cleared. All city rows retain high confidence.
