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 $4,708/ERU; (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. All five categories and their dollar amounts were confirmed verbatim in the directly-downloaded adopted Consolidated Fee Schedule (06.25.2025 redline).
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 per its Aug 2025 IFA). The CFS also lists pass-throughs for 'Orem Water Reclamation' and 'Orem Water Rights' (each 'Equal to Orem City's ... current ... fee'); exact Orem per-ERU dollar amounts could NOT be verified and 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); NO fire impact fee, NO police/public-safety impact fee; NO library, general/capital-facilities, affordable-housing, open-space, or mitigation impact fee.
Verify
confirmed 12 of 13 rows; dropped 1 (the researcher's claimed current Drinking Water value of $4,207.49/ERU, cited to utah.gov PMN files 1330261/1283501, could not be independently verified - those utah.gov PDFs return CloudFront 403 to WebFetch/curl/WebSearch and no secondary source corroborates $4,207.49; the unverified $4,207.49 primary row was dropped and replaced with the $4,708/ERU value that IS confirmed verbatim in the downloadable adopted 06.25.2025 CFS). excludeFromTotal corrections: none needed - the original variant flags were all correct (Roadway Area B, Storm Areas B/C, 1\" meter, and TSSD max-allowable all correctly excludeFromTotal=true; the primaries correctly included); the previously 'superseded' $4,708 water row was promoted to the primary water row (excludeFromTotal removed) because $4,708 is the highest verifiable confirmed value.
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. (b) All utah.gov public-notice PDFs and Vineyard's own .gov website return 403/CloudFront geo-blocks to automated fetching; verified figures were obtained from the directly-downloaded adopted CFS PDF (06.25.2025 redline, hosted on the city's CivicPlus/Revize CMS), the TSSD Impact Fee Analysis PDF (timpssd.org), and a verbatim search-engine snippet of the American Fork TSSD notice. An earlier 04.30.2025 Vineyard CFS (also downloadable) showed a different, area-based fee structure (water $873/$521 per ERU; area-based sewer $539/$2,391/$539); the 06.25.2025 amendment restructured these to the flat values verified here.
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 $4,708 + Sewer (local) $637 + Storm/Ground Water (Area A) $222 + Parks $3,422.88 = $8,989.88, 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: 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). VERIFY NOTE: the researcher's claimed reduced Drinking Water value of $4,207.49/ERU could not be independently confirmed (utah.gov PMN sources CloudFront-blocked); the confirmed $4,708/ERU from the downloadable adopted CFS is used instead. Utah charges NO school, fire, police, library, general, affordable-housing, open-space, or mitigation impact fees in Vineyard.
