Impact Fees Study

Impact Fees Study

Impact fee Approval: The City Council unanimously approved the impact fee update as well as code text changes on Second Reading at the Regular City Council Meeting on April 2, 2025. The impact fees will become effective January 1, 2026.

The City of Grand Junction contracted with TischlerBise to develop an updated impact fee study, which is required by the municipal code to be reviewed at least every five years by a consultant.

• The draft Affordable Housing Linkage Fee Study has been prepared and can be accessed online.
• The Impact Fee Study has been adopted and can be accessed online.

Impact Fees Purpose

An impact fee is a one-time payment charged to new development to help ensure that the city can maintain the current levels of service our community expects as growth occurs. Impact fees offset the costs of new capital construction necessary to accommodate new development and growth.

Impact fees can be used to offset costs for:

• Transportation infrastructure
• Municipal Facilities
• Parks
• Public Safety (Fire and Police)
• Affordable housing
