Impact fees are charged to new development as a means of paying for the facilities and infrastructure needed to serve that development. The City of Tucson currently assesses impact fees for water, roads, parks, police, fire, and public facilities. For information on water impact fees, please see Tucson Water's website under "Rates & Fees" at http://www.tucsonaz.gov/water/.
Impact Fee Deferral
On March 10, 2009, the Mayor and Council adopted a motion for the city to develop a process for the deferral of certain impact fees in exchange for a public benefit of a contribution to the City’s Housing Trust Fund. The motion restricted the deferral only to impact fees charged for roads, parks, and public facilities but not police and fire. The contribution amount would approximate an amount equal to half of the interest saved by not having to pay the impact fees at the time of building permit.
