Vineyard charges per ITE 'trip end,' NOT per dwelling unit. The published Consolidated Fee Schedule does not state a residential trips-per-dwelling-unit multiplier, so a clean per-dwelling-unit figure cannot be derived from the fee schedule alone (would require the residential ITE trip-generation rate from the Transportation Impact Fee Analysis, which could not be retrieved - utah.gov PDFs are geo/bot-blocked). amount is per trip end. | per trip | $3,586 | Utah Public Notice Website / Vineyard City Jan 1, 2026High |

Coverage & caveats
Vineyard is an incorporated town/city in Utah County, UT. Its development impact fees are set in the adopted Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS). The CFS lists exactly FIVE Vineyard impact-fee categories, all assessed at building-permit issuance and based on Equivalent Residential Units (ERU; a 3/4-inch water connection = 1 ERU = one single-family dwelling): (1) Drinking Water $4,207.49/ERU (current; updated down from $4,708/ERU in the June 2025 schedule per an updated Water Impact Fee Analysis); (2) Sewer Facilities $637/ERU (local collection only); (3) Roadway/Transportation, charged per ITE trip end ($3,586/trip end Area A citywide; $1,286/trip end Area B/RDA); (4) Storm & Ground Water, per ERU by area ($222 Area A / $337 Area B / $237 Area C); (5) Parks & Recreation $3,422.88 per household. WATER & SEWER STRUCTURE: Vineyard's local sewer fee ($637/ERU) is ADDITIVE to a regional wastewater-treatment PASS-THROUGH charged by a SEPARATE DISTRICT - Timpanogos Special Service District (TSSD), whose adopted residential fee is $5,793/ERU effective 1/1/2026 (down from $5,931; TSSD's max allowable was $7,023.05/ERU). The CFS also lists pass-throughs for 'Orem Water Reclamation' (sewer treatment for properties served by Orem) and 'Orem Water Rights' (each 'Equal to Orem City's ... current ... fee') - exact Orem per-ERU dollar amounts could NOT be verified (Orem's published doc was an ACFR-style impact-fee fund report, not a clean per-ERU schedule), so those rows are OMITTED rather than guessed. The physical water meter/connection (tap) fee ($580 for a 3/4-inch meter) is separate from and additive to the water impact fee. WHAT DOES NOT EXIST IN VINEYARD: NO school impact fee (prohibited statewide in Utah; Alpine School District / its successor cannot levy impact fees); NO fire impact fee, NO police/public-safety impact fee (Vineyard contracts fire service - 'Fire Inspection Equal to Orem Fire's fee' - and the CFS impact-fee section contains no fire or police line); NO library impact fee; NO general/capital-facilities impact fee; NO affordable-housing, open-space, or mitigation impact fee. CAVEATS: (a) Transportation is published per ITE trip end, not per dwelling unit; the CFS does not state a residential trips-per-DU multiplier, so a clean per-DU transportation figure cannot be derived from the fee schedule alone - the underlying Transportation IFA (which would give the residential trip rate) is on utah.gov PDFs that are CloudFront geo/bot-blocked and could not be retrieved. (b) Vineyard's own .gov and .org websites and all utah.gov public-notice PDFs return 403/CloudFront geo-blocks to automated fetching; figures were obtained from the directly-downloaded adopted CFS PDF (06.25.2025 redline, hosted on the city's CivicPlus/Revize CMS) and cross-confirmed via verbatim search-engine snippets of the current utah.gov public-notice CFS documents (files 1330261/1283501) showing the updated $4,207.49 water fee with all other figures unchanged. (c) Vineyard adopted further CFS amendments (12.10.2025 'Passed' and 04.07.2026 redline); the only impact-fee change identified versus June 2025 is the drinking-water fee ($4,708 -> $4,207.49); roadway, storm, parks, and sewer impact fees were stable across all 2025-2026 versions reviewed.
Representative single-family detached (~2,000-2,500 sq ft) residence connecting via a standard 3/4-inch meter (= 1 ERU = 1 household) in the citywide Area A. Vineyard-levied impact fees that are additive for a typical SFD: Drinking Water $4,207.49 + Sewer (local) $637 + Storm/Ground Water (Area A) $222 + Parks $3,422.88 = $8,489.37, PLUS the Roadway impact fee (charged per ITE trip end at $3,586/trip end - not included in this subtotal because the fee schedule gives no residential trip-end-per-unit factor), PLUS the physical 3/4-inch water meter/connection fee $580. SEPARATE-DISTRICT pass-through (additive, paid by the builder): Timpanogos Special Service District wastewater-treatment impact fee $5,793/ERU (eff. 1/1/2026) where the property drains to TSSD. Orem Water Reclamation and Orem Water Rights pass-throughs also apply (amounts not verified; equal to Orem City's current fees). Variants marked excludeFromTotal: superseded $4,708 water fee; Area B/RDA roadway ($1,286/trip end); Storm Areas B ($337) and C ($237); larger water meters (1\"=$795, etc.); TSSD maximum-allowable $7,023.05 (vs adopted $5,793). Utah charges NO school, fire, police, library, general, affordable-housing, open-space, or mitigation impact fees in Vineyard.
