Utility caveat
these utility figures are from the City Utility Capital Improvement Charges document (MMC 14.07.010, Ord. 2607/2670) still linked from Community Development, but rates are dated effective 1/1/2006 (water/sewer) and 1/1/2011 (surface water), published as the '2022' schedule; no 2024-2026 replacement found online, so confirm with Marysville Utility Billing (360-363-8000) - MEDIUM confidence on all utility/connection figures. DOES NOT EXIST / NOT FOUND for Marysville: NO separate FIRE impact fee; NO POLICE/public-safety impact fee; NO LIBRARY impact fee; NO standalone OPEN SPACE impact fee (open space/trails folded into the single PARK fee under MMC 22D.020); NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING/inclusionary in-lieu fee; NO general 'general facilities' impact fee beyond the utility connection charges above; NO ADU-specific impact fee published (ADUs generally exempt from the traffic development trigger); NO outside water/sewer special district inside city limits (Marysville provides its own water and sewer). School impact fees in WA are district-set and city-collected; all three districts overlapping Marysville are addressed.

Source 3 (MRSC m58impactFeeCompare.pdf) confirmed "Marysville 75,640 $6,300" line verbatim, corroborating the SFR traffic figure. Source 2 (codepublishing MMC 22D.030): WebFetch 403'd; re-fetched HTML via curl - the chapter establishes the per-PM-peak-hour-trip framework, concurrency, exemptions and deferral but does NOT hardcode the $6,300/$2,220 dollar amounts (those are set in the adopted fee schedule, source 0), which is normal for WA codes; the dollar figures are therefore sourced from source 0/source 3, both of which confirm them. excludeFromTotal corrections: none required - flags already correct. Mutually-exclusive variants are properly excluded (Park MF $1,417, Traffic commercial $2,220, Marysville SD MF $0, Lake Stevens SD SF $13,730, Lakewood SD SF $0); representative SFR-in-Marysville-SD total = 1,956 + 6,300 + 0 + 65 + 4,750 + 4,490 + 95 + 1,050 + 500 = $19,206 (no double-counting: only base 5/8x3/4 meter and only the citywide-representative Marysville SD school row are included). Confidence levels as claimed are appropriate (HIGH for impact/school/traffic; MEDIUM for all utility/connection rows given the 2006/2011 effective dates).
For a typical new single-family detached home inside Marysville city limits in the Marysville School District, core one-time development/impact fees total roughly: Park $1,956 + Traffic $6,300 + School (Marysville SD) $0 + School admin $65 + Water connection $4,750 + Sewer connection $4,490 + Surface water capital $95 + Water meter tapping $1,050 + Water meter drop $500 = approximately $19,206, plus utility admin/filing ($20+$20) and $100 sewer inspection. If the lot is in the Lake Stevens School District portion of the city, add $13,730 (single family). The traffic fee is technically assessed per PM peak-hour trip ($6,300/trip) at ~1.0 trip per SFR; MRSC's 2025 statewide study independently confirms $6,300 per single-family residence. Park/traffic/school impact fee payments may be deferred to final inspection for $200 (Ord. 2997). All amounts independently re-verified 2026-06-16 against the cited City of Marysville PDFs and the MRSC 2025 comparison.
