Impact Fees Study

Impact Fees Study

The City of Grand Junction has 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 draft Impact Fee Study has been prepared and can be accessed online.

Next Meeting: The City Council will consider impact fee adoption on First Reading at the Regular City Council Meeting on February 19, 2025. The meeting will be held in the Council Auditorium, 250 N. 5th Street.

Staff recommended fee adoption and code changes to the City Council at the February 3, 2025, City Council Workshop. A summary of the recommendations can be accessed as an online PDF. They can also be found in the Documents tab of EngageGJ to the right.

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
